La Vie en Rose

GB asked about my upcoming doings for the weekend and I wishfully replied, "I'm flying off to Paris for a late afternoon brunch at a quaint dainty looking cafe that overlooks the Eiffel Tower in the background."

He did a killjoy and said, "Paris is expensive you know..."

Of course I didn't tell him that I had won a bet almost two years back which involves me getting my two flat feet on Parisian ground in the other's expense but no worries to You yeah, I won't hold You to anything. *chuckle*

Just like to rub it in a little :) *rub-a-dub-dub*

I reckon Edith Piaf's 'La Vie en Rose' is the perfect Paris song. Originally in French, it has been covered by many artists in English but the best version I've heard so far is by Louis Armstrong from the 'French Kiss' soundtrack.

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

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

Sigh, a girl can dream can't she?
