More k.d.

Via my friend Scout comes this k.d. and Tony Bennett duet: la vie en rose. "Life through rose-coloured glasses" was the signature song of torch singer Edith Piaf. Think of Judy Garland before Judy Garland. So totally queer in so many ways.

Enjoy. About three and half minutes.

I love to sing with k.d. lang. I love it.

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose

When you kiss me heaven sighs
And tho I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose

When you press me to your heart
I’m in a world apart
A world where roses bloom

And when you speak...angels sing from above
Everyday words seem...to turn into love songs

Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose
