"La Vie en rose" (French for "Life through rose-coloured glasses," literally "Life in pink") was the signature song of French singer Édith Piaf. An English version of the lyrics was written later by Mack David. Several notable artists have performed "La Vie en Rose", one of my favorite is the Louis Armstrong version which was used in the movie French Kiss in 1995, an American romantic comedy film set in France, starring Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline.
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 tho 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 seem...to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
