WORDS
THAT SAY WE'LL NEVER PART
              (LA VIE EN ROSE)

     This is the picture I was shown
Of him I met and made my own
     But eyes and smile could never tell
What words have made me see so well

When he takes me, holds me tight
And softly says goodnight
     I see the world so clearly
He can tell me words of love
T'outlast the stars above
     And make me love him dearly
They can fill my heart with bliss
Still deeper than a kiss
     I tell you most sincerely

I live through him, him through me, man and wife,
He gives to me and he vows them for life
     Words that say we'll never part
     That touch like Cupid's dart
          My beating heart
