In a carousel in Paris
I remember the tune
little children heard
When alone
while reading a book
I remember the the tune
played by my old record player
At my wedding, I remember
our parents dancing to
Louis Armstrong's American version
A song sang by a French Lady
If I hear the tune
I remember the Lady's songs
I remember the yellow rose of France when I listen to La vie En Rose
