A Glass of Champagne

🎵 “Champagne Makes Life Shine” (Tempo: Moderato, 6/8 — softly swaying, bittersweet) (Verse 1) Life walks in grey — with tired shoes, Dreams half-asleep — with too much news. The café’s cold — the rain won’t stop, You watch the bubbles — in your cup. Then comes a laugh — a golden pour, The heart forgets — what hurt before. And suddenly — the world’s divine, It sparkles more — when bubbles shine. (Chorus) Oh, mon amour, bois du champagne, La vie est douce, la vie se gagne, Un peu d’amour, un peu d’espoir, Et tout s’éclaire — dans le noir. (Verse 2) I’ve loved and lost — I’ve danced and cried, Kissed all the ghosts — I kept inside. But every tear — became a bead, Of crystal joy — my soul could need. The waiter smiles — he knows the game, We toast to love — to loss, to flame. To every fool — who still believes, That life tastes best — on New Year’s Eve. (Chorus) Oh, mon amour, bois du champagne, La vie est brève, la nuit s’éloigne, Un peu de feu, un peu de foi, Et tout s’envole — toi et moi. (Bridge) Tomorrow’s fears — can wait their turn, Tonight, the stars — and candles burn. No grand regrets — no grand design, Just laughter fizzing — in the wine. (Final Chorus) Oh, mon amour, bois du champagne, La vie est folle, mais elle nous gagne, Un peu de cœur, un peu de vin, Et tout s’éclaire… c’est le matin.
