THE CITY OF ROMANCE
Where we just glanced
Took one long, long glance
We danced, oh we danced
In the city so gay and carefree
Paris, Paris, Paris
All through the long, long night
The night life shone and shone
Whereupon it seemed we were the only ones
The stars were shining so bright
Your eyes shining, with love
They spoke of forever, eternally
Just you and me
Always being carefree
Letting the world float by
Floating on a sea of paradise
Were we so wise?
Did we not see with our eyes?
Those tears that never conquered our fears
The rain splattered sidewalks
The flooding rivers that rose from
The endless,
ceaseless,
Barrage of jealousy, envy
The barrage of insecurities
The frightening lightning of your enlightening
Infidelity
Will stay with me incessantly
