La Vie C'est La Vie Lyrics - The Roches

On summer afternoons I sit 

Quiescent by you in the park 

And idly watch the sunbeams gild 

And tint the ash tree's bark 

Or else I watch the squirrels frisk 

And chaffer in the grassy lane 

And all the while I mark your voice 

Break with love and pain 

I know a woman who would give 

Her chance of heaven to take my place 

To see the love-light in your eyes 

The love glow on your face 

And there's a man whose lightest word 

Can set my chilly blood afire 

Fulfillment of his least behest 

Defines my life's desire
