Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
MY REASON Musique Musique I sing to you ma jolie fille, a sun song that is deep in me, I hope you like the sound of ma musique. I saw you pass by on the walk, and couldn't find the words to talk, so I will turn my feelings en musique. Musique I give you des chansons d'amour, from ancient worlds and old folklore, with memories and sound of ma musique. Just walk beside me hand in hand, to my Mediterranean land, listen to the voice of ma musique. I saw you smiling silently my way, your eyes reflecting sunlight in my heart, you look so happy, care-free and so gay, so closed to me and yet so far apart, I felt if I could take your hand that you would really understand the reason I sing ma chanson d'amour.
