She was written as a theme tune for a British TV series named Seven Faces of Woman - and recorded by Charles Aznavour in different languages including English, French, Italian, Spanish and German.
The French version is Tous Les Visages De L'Amour while all the other versions keep the translation for 'She'.

The song is an obvious and passionate tribute to Women and to all of their mystery.

"She may be the reason I survive, 
The why and wherefore I'm alive, 
The one I'll care for through the 
Rough and ready years"
