Coincidentally, we were in a restaurant last night and this song came on. My 20-yr daughter said to me "I think this is the most beautiful song ever"

Coincidentally, a couple years ago I was long-distance dating a woman and we were meeting at a town in between us. As part of the meeting instructions I texted her "...and be sure to bring your passport, a screwdriver, some invisible ink and a ripe melon. And you DO know the lyrics to La Vie En Rose, don't you?"
Thanks for the memory.

Unless I am mistaken, that was used as background music in a James Bond film.
