In How I Met Your Mother, the song has been used twice, most notably by Cristin Milioti in Season 9 episode How Your Mother Met Me.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
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 though I close my eyes
I see "La vie en rose"
[Verse 2]
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"
