i downloaded the song la vie en rose from the jeux d'enfants (love me if you dare) soundtrack and it brought a big smile to my face... it just reminded me of all the happiness a short while ago... i just closed my eyes and collapsed in the recliner chair with a smile fixed on my face even when the song ended, imaginary melodies feeding and accompanying my memories... it is heightened nostalgia that the song brings about... the siginificance of it, the mellow lazy melody and the meloncholia it evokes... all of it making me wish to go back to those days of smiles, happiness and kisses... it is pure romanticism when i imagine myself to be lying on a rooftop, my hand in hers, squinting to keep the sun out of our eyes while looking at the passing clouds... unproductive, yes... pragmatic perception aside, it would mean that much to me... of course, this is far from reality... its just delusional idealism..

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose

When you kiss me heaven sighs
And tho I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose

When you press me to your heart
I’m in a world apart
A world where roses bloom

And when you speak...angels sing from above
Everyday words seem...to turn into love songs

Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
