[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, c’est la vie
Oh, oh, c'est la vie
Who knows who cares for me?
C'est la vie

[Verse 2]
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 flowеd for you
C'est la vie

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, c'est la viе
Oh, oh, c'est la vie
Who knows who cares for me?
C’est la vie
[Accordion Solo]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, c’est la vie
Oh, oh, c'est la vie
Who knows who cares for me?
C'est la vie
