A Rainy Night In Paris

Chris De Burgh · Live In Dortmund [2005]

it's a rainy night in paris ,

and the harbour lights are low ,

he must leave his love in paris ,

before the winter snow ;

on a lonely street in paris ,

he held her close to say ,

" we'll meet again in paris ,

when there are flowers on chapms-elyse'es ..."

" how long " she said " how long ,

and will your love be strong ,

when you're across the sea ,

will your heart remember me ? ..."

then she gave him words to turn to ,

when the winter nights were long ,

" nous serons encore amoureux ,

avec les couleurs de printemps ..."

" and then " she said " and then ,

our love will grow again ,"

ah but in her eyes he sees ,

her words of love are only words to please ...

and now the lights of paris ,

grow dim and fade away ,

and i know by the lights of paris ,

i will never see her again ...
