lyrics

I walk the cobbled stones
I dodge the tossed out cigarettes I see the Seine alone
I am in Paris

A day’s discarded crumbs
The birds have long flown away And then the night winds come And gently blow in Paris

Too many macarons
They tempt like pastel-coloured gems And melt upon my tongue
So sweet in Paris

I gaze up at the Arc
And leave my lock on Pont des Arts
So many lovers past
Did come to court in Paris

So now I climb the steps divine
And look down from the Sacred Heart
A choir sounds, bright light abounds
As close to heaven I have found

A free man in Paris
She wrote and sang of whimsically
A place for hide and seek
For magical illusions

So now I climb the steps divine
And look down from the Sacred Heart
A choir sounds, bright light abounds
As close to heaven I have found

Paris, I came to see
The lights they talk of endlessly
They flicker in the dark
Illuminate the shadows

Now I say, “Au revoir”
And pack my bags and board the train
But still this sweet refrain
Takes me back to Paris
