"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 seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose"
La Vie en Rose was written by the beloved French artist, Edith Piaf, during World War II.
She led a tragic yet successful life, and she is well known today as one of France's most talented singers.
Since then, many singers have covered this charming song, including one of our favorites, Louis Armstrong.
Wishing YOU a rosy day ;-)
I love your beautiful rose with the blue sky background.
ReplyDeleteAlso loved Edith Piaf and her music.
Hope that you are having a lovely week

ReplyDeleteHello Sherri! Thanks for visiting me this week and for leaving such a sweet comment.
ReplyDeleteLove this post! I had the pleasure of visiting Mme Piaf's tomb when I toured the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris about 4 years ago. Her tomb was very simple, but wow...she still gets a lot of visitors and fresh flowers. She's definitely a legend.
