Les prénoms de Paris

The sun is rising
And kissing the rooftops
And it’s Paris in the daylight
The Seine is strolling
And pointing the way
And it’s always Paris
And my heart stops
On your heart that smiles
And it’s Paris, hello
And your hand in my hand
That already says yes
And it’s Paris, love
The first date
On Île Saint-Louis
It’s Paris that begins
And the first kiss
Stolen at the Tuileries
And it’s Paris, luck
And the first kiss
Received under an archway
And it’s Paris, romance
And two heads turning
While looking at Versailles
And it’s Paris, France
The days we forget
That forget to see us
And it’s Paris, hope
The hours when our gazes
Are just one gaze
And it’s Paris, mirror
Just nights again
That separate our songs
And it’s Paris, goodnight
And that day finally
When you no longer say no
And it’s Paris, tonight
A room a bit sad
Where the dance stops
And it’s Paris, us two
A look that receives
The tenderness of the world
And it’s Paris, your eyes
This vow that I cry
Rather than say it
It’s Paris if you want
And knowing that tomorrow
Will be like today
It’s Paris, wonderful
But the end of the journey
The end of the song
And it’s Paris, all gray
Last day, last hour
First tear too
And it’s Paris, the rain
These gardens restored
That no longer have their beauty
And it’s Paris, boredom
The station where
The last tear happens
And it’s Paris, finished
Far from the eyes, far from the heart
Chased from paradise
And it’s Paris, sorrow
But a letter from you
A letter that says yes
And it’s Paris, tomorrow
Cities and villages
The wheels tremble with luck
It’s Paris on the way
And you waiting for me there
And everything starts again
And it’s Paris, I’m coming back.
