C'EST LA VIE

Yes, I’ve travelled far, not wide

And had my share of troubles

Yes, I’ve compromised clear thought

To the joy of uncommon muddles

Yes, I’ve loved and lost and tossed it all

And created quite the flutter

I’ve earned that corner office they wanted

And celebrated with pretty clutter.

And yet, there’s nothing I have done

That has made me feel more human

There’s no story I have told

That’s been told and gotten proven

C’est La Vie, darling, C’est La Vie

What did we do with the days gone by

Where have they gone, what will become

And why does my heart still cry.

Yes, I’ve pleased the ones who mattered

And the one who tried to get closer

I’ve made myself quite available

Wherever I could be the poser

Yes, I’ve quelled the burning light

That was inside me, bright and burning

I’ve given in to those nights

Which come with no prior warning.

And yet, there’s nothing I have done

That has made me feel more human

There’s no story I have told

That’s been told and gotten proven

C’est La Vie, darling, C’est La Vie

What did we do with the days gone by

Where have they gone, what will become

And why does my heart still cry.
