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
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
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
Oh, oh, c'est la vie
Oh, oh, c'est la vie
Who knows, who cares for me
C'est la vie
