Paris, mon amour by Lisann Evert

Bonjour is like coffee in Paris 

While I walk down the Champs-Élysées

The smell of pain au chocolate 

Wafting from a bakery 

Pouvez-vous me montrer le chemin ?

Il dit : Bien sûr ! Just follow the street

Still, I get lost 

Too much in love with the city, with you

to follow the lead 

Late at night, a date by the Seine

After another glass of red wine 

I’ll tell you je t’aime 

But I am not to blame

For how could I resist?

If they invented romance

Right where we just kissed 

Oh, let me stay a little longer 

Paris, mon amour 

You are where I belong 

I have never been so sure
