C’est la vie they sing in chorus lines across old TV shows.
C’est la vie you breathe as you turn away.
We can’t spend our lives waiting, with a shrug you go.
C’est la vie they sing as our lives pass us by, black and white picture shows.
We’re not frantic, just romantic, but even great loves rarely make it to the end.
C’est la vie they say, we told you so.
