La Vie En Rose - 'Life in Pink' - Louis Armstrong - Anthem of Love 💗 Edith Piaf


🎺 Louis Armstrong's trumpet solo and voice are amazing; the artwork of Paris fits perfectly.

Verse 1
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"

Verse 2
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"
