I Love Paris
Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]
Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be the sky
Whether loud be her cheers or where soft be her tears
More and more do I realize.
I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
Ooh, I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles.
I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why, oh, why, do I love Paris
Because my love is so near.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why, oh, why, do I love Paris
Because my love is near.
My love is near, love is near, I love Paris...
