This song is inspired by “La vie en rose” by Édith Piaf, a very famous French singer.
It talks about the narrator being so in love with someone that everything seems pretty, everything seems rose, even with the eyes closed. This is an anthem of love.
[Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
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"
[Trumpet Solo]

La Vie en Rose literally translates to “life in pink.” However, “pink” most closely resembles our idiom “rose-colored glasses.” Basically, it translates best to “life through rose-colored glasses.”
