Lyrics:<br>

A lady known as Paris, Romantic and Charming<br>

Has left her old companions and faded from view<br>

<br>

Lonely men with lonely eyes are seeking her in vain<br>

Her streets are where they were, but there's no sign of her<br>

<br>

She has left the Seine<br>

<br>

The last time I saw Paris, her heart was warm and gay,<br>

I heard the laughter of her heart in every street café<br>

<br>

The last time I saw Paris, her trees were dressed for spring,<br>

And lovers walked beneath those trees and birds found songs to sing.<br>

<br>

I dodged the same old taxicabs that I had dodged for years.<br>

The chorus of their squeaky horns was music to my ears.<br>

<br>

The last time I saw Paris, her heart was warm and gay,<br>

No matter how they change her, I'll remember her that way.<br>

<br>

I'll think of happy hours, and people who shared them<br>

Old women, selling flowers, in markets at dawn<br>

<br>

Children who applauded, Punch and Judy in the park<br>

And those who danced at night and kept our Paris bright<br>

<br>

'til the town went dark.<br>

<br>
