Paris Enchanchment

Pen against paper, trying to explain
How I found myself here again
Walking these winding streets alone
Past the caf; where we called home
Something familiar pulls me near
Your silhouette suddenly appears

(Raindrops on cobblestones
Melodies memories make)
(Melodies take me back)
 (Mmmm ...)

Dancing with you tonight
One last time, hold me tight
Paris plays our song
Knowing it won't last long
(Won't last long)

Wandering musician plays from afar
Accordion notes beneath distant stars
Your perfume mingles with morning bread
All the words we left unsaid
Stumbling through French phrases pure
Like the first time at your door
When passion sparked and time stood still
Now bittersweet memories fill

Watching the painters pack
Their canvases for the day
(Colors fade away)
 (Mmmm ...)

Dancing with you tonight
One last time, hold me tight
Paris plays our song
Knowing it won't last long
(Won't last long)

Mon amour, should I stay?
Your eyes tell me to go
Hearts beating to the rhythm
Of what we used to know
(Used to know)

Morning light breaks through the haze
Our footprints mark these ancient ways
Your hand in mine begins to slip
Final words upon my lips
Sacred moment starts to fade
Like watercolors in the rain

Dancing with you tonight
One last time, hold me tight
Paris plays our song
As dawn breaks, you're gone
(You're gone)

(Pen against paper
Still trying to explain)
