Jay Style Feat.donna Summer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sung about in songs I heard
Feelings could reveal that I was wrong
And it was real
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
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 seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
