Couleur de Rose.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. June 2001.

[Prince] The world's a delightful place,
and if you're fond of a gay time,

fling care to the winds,
and make up your minds
that all the year shall be Maytime.

Away with your gloomy thoughts,
just do what fancy proposes,

then life ought to seem,
a beautiful dream,
a dream of nothing but roses.

Couleur de rose! Couleur de rose!
That is what life should be.

Rosy cheeks may blush provokingly,
rosy lips may kiss you jokingly,

laughter and song all the day long,
echoing far and free.

Give me a world that glitters and glows,
Couleur de rose! Couleur de rose!

[Prince] Philosophy such as mine,
you mayn't believe till you've tried it.

But life is a cup,
one ought to fill up,
and quaff the nectar inside it.

Then, under a cloudless sky,
with not a shadow of sorrow,

we'll learn, while we may,
the joys of today,
and leave regrets till tomorrow.

Couleur de rose! Couleur de rose!
That is what life should be.

Rosy cheeks may blush provokingly,
rosy lips may kiss you jokingly,

laughter and song all the day long,
echoing far and free.

Give me a world that glitters and glows,
Couleur de rose! Couleur de rose!

Couleur de rose! Couleur de rose!
That is what life should be.

Rosy cheeks may blush provokingly,
rosy lips may kiss you jokingly,

laughter and song all the day long,
echoing far and free.

Give me a world that glitters and glows,
Couleur de rose, de rose!
