L'important C'est La Rose
L'important C'est La Rose
L’important C’est La Rose Pour (Coir) Moi

(Verse 1)
If you find you're all alone
And the knots of love have bound you
Though the clouds are all around you
There's a rose
Love will come and love will go
Do not waste another hour
There is beauty in a flower
Like the rose

(Verse 2)
You and I must play our part
In this world that keeps on spinning
And our time will come for winning
If we wait
There's a petal and a thorn
There is beauty there’s sorrow
And we all must face tomorrow
Like the rose

(Verse 3)
For as sure as there's the sky
And the Sun so high above us
There is one who's meant to love us In this world
There is rhythm to our lives
There is rhyme and there is reason
And we all must find our season
Like a rose!
