Lyrics
"Paris" Meryl Leppard
There's a room in Paris
With a view of the Seine
Through a window that is grimy
with sleet on the pane
there's a place in Paris
on the poor side of town
with no light on the stairwell
and paint peeling down
boxes of flowers
have faded for winter
they're waiting for love
to come back and win her
I've a dream of Paris
That I keep in my head
There, when you come to me willingly
I'm dressed in red
And the weight of your kisses
And the love on your breath
Do capture completely
This bird in my chest
Flowers spring back to life
though it's snowing
And the romance of one candle glowing
will light me
And fill me forever
Only in Paris
Only in Paris
Only in Paris
Only in Paris
Flowers spring back to life
Though it's snowing
And the romance of one candle glowing
Will light me
And fill me forever
Only in Paris
Only in Paris
Only in Paris
Only in Paris
