Lyrics C’est La Vie [’82 Version] by Michael Sembello

You say love is growin' on a tree
Well, I can't believe what I don't see
Peacetime, wartime, hot time or fall
There's always someone who wants it all
Take my hand and I'll show you the way
Preachers on the TV sellin' God today

Tell me what is right
Do I walk away or fight?
It's a flash, it's a life, it's a miracle
It's a morning of my life
Let me know why I believe
Is this a joke, with nothing up its sleeve?

(Singin' c'est la vie) c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) singin' c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) singin' c'est la vie

This life, next life, any life at all
You can't escape when your number's called
If it's a fact that life is a game
Then heaven can wait, 'cause it's all the same

Tell me what is right
Why I wake in the middle of the night
It's a tear, it's a cry, it's a sight
It's a vision dressed in white
Will I ever come to see
Why I have the will to choose between

(Singin' c'est la vie) c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) singin' c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) singin' c'est la vie

Tell me what is right
Why I wake in the middle of the night
It's a tear, it's a cry, it's a sight
It's a vision dressed in white
Will I ever come and see
Why I have the will to choose between

(Singin' c'est la vie) singin', singin'...
(Singin' c'est la vie) singin' c'est la vie, singin'
(Singin' c'est la vie) c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) singin' c'est la vie, c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) singin' c'est la vie, c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) singin' c'est la vie, c'est la vie, singin'
(Singin' c'est la vie) c'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
(Singin' c'est la vie) c'est la vie, hey yeah...
We, we're singin' c'est la vie, yeah yeah...
