C'est la vie.
Have your leaves all turned to brown?
Will you scatter them around you?
C'est la vie.
Do you love?
And then how am I to know
If you don't let your love show for me?
C'est la vie.
Chorus:
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me?
C'est la vie.
In the night,
Do you light a lover's fire?
Do the ashes of desire for you remain?
Like the sea,
There's a love too deep to show.
Took a storm before my love flowed for you.
C'est la vie.
+ Chorus
+ Interlude
Like a song,
Out of tune and out of time,
All I needed was a rhyme for you;
C'est la vie.
Do you give?
Do you live from day to day?
Is there no song I can play for you?
C'est la vie.
+ Chorus
