Lyrics

I want to tell you a story
And it makes me feel so sad
A tale of total strangers
Living on converging paths
Little did we know that when we came to Mexico from different places
That we?d share a laugh or two and talk of love each other knew that died away


I could stare into her eyes until
Her Canadian whisper made my heart stand still
This heart of mine so recently broken
Was tellin? my head ?you?ve got to be jokin?
Cause the memories you hold are still hotter than cold not forgotten?
But the smell of her skin made those memories dim, they went away


She had a way of making the day
Flow into another in such an easy way
With her at night
We?d dance until morning
I didn?t pay attention, I didn?t heed the warning
I considered her mine, thought we had time, I was mistaken
I continued my fall, invested it all, and then love?s Black Friday came


And love returned to Montreal
She took everything and yet she left it all
Is she lookin? out a window now and wondering where I am?
I may be anywhere, but my heart?s in Montreal
I may be anywhere, mais mes coeurs a? Montreal
