Roches - La Vie C'est La Vie lyrics

rate me

(Words by Jesse Fauset)<br />

<br />

On summer afternoons I sit<br />

Quiescent by you in the park,<br />

And idly watch the sunbeams gild<br />

And tint the ash tree's bark.<br />

<br />

Or else I watch the squirrles frisk<br />

And chaffer in the grassy lane;<br />

And all the while I mark your voice<br />

Break with love and pain.<br />

<br />

I know a woman who would give<br />

Her chance of heaven to take my place;<br />

To see the love-light in your eyes,<br />

The love-glow on your face!<br />

<br />

And there's a man whose lightest word<br />

Can set my chilly blood afire;<br />

Fulfillment of his least behest<br />

Defines my life's desire.<br />

<br />

But he will none of me. Nor I<br />

Of you. Nor you of her. 'Tis said<br />

The world is full of justs like these. <br />

I wish that I were dead.
