Today I wake up with this song:
I like so much this version but the original one is from Charles Aznavour and I know it from so many years ago I really can't count them. 
You can ear it here by Aznavour:
More about the song here, that was used several times in movies:

Lyrics
She 
(Tous Les Visages de L'Amour)
Elvis Costello - from Notting Hill Soundtrack
Written by Charles Aznavour and Herbert Kretzmer
She may be the face I can't forget 
The trace of pleasure or regret 
Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay 
She may be the song that summer sings 
May be the chill that autumn brings 
May be a hundred different things 
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast 
May be the famine or the feast 
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell 
She may be the mirror of my dreams 
A smile reflected in a stream 
She may not be what she may seem 
Inside her shell....
She, who always seems so happy in a crowd 
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud 
No one's allowed to see them when they cry 
She maybe the love that cannot hope to last 
May come to me from shadows in the past 
That I remember 'till the day I die
She maybe the reason I survive 
The why and wherefore I'm alive 
The one I care for through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take the laughter and her tears 
And make them all my souvenirs 
For where she goes I've got to be 
The meaning of my life is 
She....She 
Oh, she....
So beautiful.
I think it's one of the most beautiful musics ever made.

I love this kind of music!
Hello! I'm a Brazilian journalist and I came to your blog by chance while researching “alfazema” for my website, gobrazil.about.com. I’m delighted. What a wonderful blog! I also love this song by Charles Aznavour and often listen to it while I’m working. Thank you for the inspiration and the words about family, children and God. I’m the mother of a wonderful 12-year old boy and reading your blog was a blessing.
Tudo de bom e Deus abençoe muito sua família!
