♪ Hold me close and hold me fast ♪

♪ This 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.

NARRATOR: Kids, I must have heard your mom's rendition

Of "La Vie en Rose" a million times over the years.

Every night when she tucked you in, for instance.

But that performance,

That first night I ever heard her sing,

that one will always be my favorite.
