Lyrics

It started with a tear
Then became a war
But I was always there
With a longing for

Pink-papered walls
And paper dolls
Ribbons and bows
La vie en rose

Your wrist, it hangs too loose
If you're not careful
Your flowers pushing through
Just to be trampled

Pink-papered walls
And paper dolls
Best not to show
La vie en rose

The boys turned into men
All swagger and boast
For kids like me a name
Oh, not quite, but close

Pink-papered walls
And paper dolls
I hold you close
Ma vie en rose
Ma vie en rose
