Joe Dassin
C’est La Vie, Lily (That’s Life, Lily)
[Intro; Verse 1]
That's life, Lily
When you go in the streets of the city
All the world admires you and your smiles
And your youth makes the soldiers dream

[Pre-Chorus]
That's life, Lily
When you go in the streets of the city
When you are beautiful, not very faithful
Very often you flirt with these soldiers

[Chorus]
Turning, turning, The times pass(go)
In your eyes in front of your mirror
Yet you, you don't watch it go

[Pre-Chorus]
That's life, Lily
When you go in the streets of the city
Selling some roses or other things
Yet you give so many nights to the soldiers

[Chorus]
Turning, turning, the time passes
In my eyes in front of your mirror
But you, you do not look at it go
[Pre-Chorus]
That's life, Lily
When you sleep in the streets of the city
You are well old, you remember yourself
When other times you once made the soldiers dream

[Chorus]
Turning, turning, the time passes
In my eyes in front of your mirror
Yet you, you don't look at it go
