La Vie C’est La Vie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Breaking with love and pain [Verse 2] 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 [Outro] But he will none of me. Nor I Of you. Nor you of her. 'Tis said The world is full of jests like these I wish that I were dead
