LA VIE EN ROSE

LA VIE EN ROSE by LAURA & ANTON
THE CIRCLE OF YOUR ARMS
Remember that evening way back in another age and place
When Paris in the Latin quarter was just the place to be
You played this song on your violin and I sang and played guitar
the golden hour when the night absorbs the day
came streaming through the window and fell upon my hair
the warmth like tender hands upon my skin
felt so sweet and love found it's way into my heart
I looked to you and shyly you looked away
and deep inside I felt a shift within my soul
felt the magnetism as your soul met mine
the appartement that we rented
from Madame et Monsieur Henri Renard
so steamy hot in Summer yet set within a stone courtyard
we flung the shuttered windows open and felt the cool night air
a ladder stood against the wall; not tall enough to reach our lair
our imagination carried us to other worlds; a place among the stars
as we lay there in the darkness and looked up to the sky so far
a wedding in the countryside; I'd wear sunflowers in my hair
you'd carry me across the threshold of our cottage that we'd share
we'd eat a simple meal of bread and cheese,
washed down with lilac wine
and watch each other tenderly with smiling eyes that shine
with tears of joy that sometimes spilled on to our cheeks
and mingled with each others as you danced me on your feet
Remember that first waltz you taught me
when I was only then fourteen
so many other dances since but I never forgot that one
I giggled like the child I was; we fell about until
the dress for dinner gong resounded in our ears
and echoed in the hall
an hour to dress for dinner but we didn't need that long
so we continued our clumsy dancing until the second gong
childish dreams expanded into our grown up world
and time that once pulled us far apart
at last brought me back to the circle of your arms.
