lyrics

Ah, Paris
Romantic City
I wish you were here with me
But you’re so far over the sea

Ah, your eyes
Would glimmer under Paris skies
Down by the river the forgotten poet cries

In the square
There’s a statue with corroded hair
Speaking thru me with an obvious fanfare

I dreamed we kissed
By the fountain in the Paris mist
It’s a long journey home
But I hope it’s known that you’re missed

I close my eyes
I’m picturing
You and I
Are dancing
The moon is full
Turn out the lights
Darling, let’s share Parisian nights
Parisian nights, Parisian nights
Dancing slowly in the moonlight
Parisian nights, Parisian nights
Ahh…

Exhibit
Painters stroke with candles lit
Paris officials are throwing a fit

I hear a bell
I take a stroll down Ste. Michel
The flowers smile – how sweet they smell

Parisians know
Songs of the opera that will echo
In the walls of an arch that were never meant for show

I’ve a lack of rest
All the while, you’re in the west
I’m washing down desire with bottles of zest
