C'est la Vie lyrics

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) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.

Oh, oh, c'est la vie.

Who knows, who cares for me...

C'est la vie.

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) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.

Oh, oh, c'est la vie.

Who knows, who cares for me...

C'est la vie.
