C'est Si Bon (It's So Good)

Danny Kaye · Other Songs - Danny Kaye

C'est si bon

Lovers say that in France

When they thrill to romance

It means that it's so good

C'est si bon

So I say to you

Like the French people do

Because it's oh so good

Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,

Leads to only one thought

And the thought is this, dear!

C'est si bon

Nothing else can replace

Just your slightest embrace

And if you only would be my own for the rest my days

I will whisper this phrase

My darling, my darling

C'est si bon!
