La Romance de Paris

Zaz Zaz

The Romance of Paris

They'd been in love for just two days
Sometimes there's joy in the pain
But since they fell for each other
Their fate was no longer a bummer
They lived with a strange dream
And that dream was blue like the angels' gleam
Their love was a true springtime, yeah
As pure as their tender twenty years

It's the romance of Paris
On the street corners, it blooms
It fills the hearts of lovers
With a bit of dream and blue skies
This sweet refrain from our neighborhoods
Speaks so gently of love
That everyone is smitten
It's the romance of Paris

The suburbs were their true domain
They'd head out at the end of the week
Into the woods to pick lilies of the valley
Or on a boat just to sail away
They'd also drink at the taverns
White wine that makes you feel light-headed
And when they'd share a kiss, yeah
All the couples dancing would say

It's the romance of Paris
On the street corners, it blooms
It fills the hearts of lovers
With a bit of dream and blue skies
This sweet refrain from our neighborhoods
Speaks so gently of love
That everyone is smitten
It's the romance of Paris

This is where my story ends
Will you have trouble believing me?
If I tell you they loved each day
That they grew old with their tender love
That they started a wonderful family
And had adorable kids
That they passed away gently, unknown, yeah
Leaving just as they had come

It's the romance of Paris
On the street corners, it blooms
It fills the hearts of lovers
With a bit of dream and blue skies
This sweet refrain from our neighborhoods
Speaks so gently of love
That everyone is smitten
It's the romance of Paris
That everyone is smitten
It's the romance of Paris
