Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is " la vie en rose "
When you kiss me , heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see " la vie en rose "
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak , angles sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
" la vie en rose "

Just because you like an old song doesn’t mean you were born in a wrong generation, you just like the song

Mohammed Alterki ..you clearly don’t know what you’re doing “Mohammad”
@mitesh6156
Not listening this song on radio daily, people dancing to this in bars, musician covering this.. It's s wrong generation to be born anyway.

My grandma loved Louis Armstrong. she passed away a little over a year ago. she would’ve been 100 years old today, 22/4/2022, if she was still here with us. she was the core of my family, a gifted artist who couldn’t fulfil her full potential because she had to work to keep her family afloat after fleeing from nazi germany as a jewish girl. I do art in her name. she used to sit in her porch 1 floor above my bedroom, and look at the sea. she loved this home, our family, drinking coke and eating biscuits. she loved jazz. we sang this song on her grave, along with “what a wonderful world” and the one that goes “heaven, i’m in heaven”. I love her and miss her so much. rest your beautiful soul, Ellen. thank you to anyone who read this far.
