La vie en rose
Alex Swings & Oscar Sings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 angels sing from above
Everyday words seems to turn to love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
and life will always be
La Vie En Rose.

I thought love was just a word
They say in songs I heard
Now I see Vie En Rose
Took your kisses to reveal
That I was wrong, loves real
This is La Vie En Rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see La Vie En Rose
And when you speak angels sing from above
Everyday words seems to turn to love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La Vie En Rose

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 angels sing from above
Everyday words seems to turn to love songs
Give your heart and soul to me




And life will always be
La Vie En Rose
