Song lyrics to La Vie en Rose (1945), lyrics by by Édith Piaf, music composed by Louiguy French lyrics to La Vie en Rose Quand il le prend dans ses brasQu’il me parle tout basJe…
If I am fancy free
And love to wander
It’s just the Gypsy in my soul
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant
But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
Song lyrics to Trim Up the Three from How the Grinch Stole Christmas – where the citizens of Whoville decorate the tree with gusto!
The Look of Love
Is in your eyes
The look your heart can’t disguise
The Look of Love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
Keep ’em flying, keep ’em in the sky
Keep ’em flying, hitting hard and high
On every lip, the fervent cry
Keep ’em flying Uncle Sam
