La Vie En Rose
KD Lang/Tony Bennett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me close and hold me fast
This 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 fly from above
Everyday words seem to turn
Into love songs

Give your heart and soul to me
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose

Mmm, when you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom

And when you speak
Angels fly from above
Everyday words seem to turn
Into love songs

Give your heart, your soul to me




Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose
