Paris Dies in the Morning Songtext

von Leo Sayer

(A. McCrorie-Shand/J. Danter)

I feel so lost and lonely
Standing by the river Seine
I don't know how I got here or why I came
But everywhere I see her smiling face
I remember
We met somewhere in the back streets
In this city of another age
And talking broken English 'til the darkness came
And in my room she called me by my name
And she whispered
Paris dies in the morning
That's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no, no
It disappears in the sunshine
It's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
It's always gonna be that way
When we made love in that hotel
Like I never made before
Thought I could die
When she whispered slow
Marai toujours
She was wild and enchanting
The night was like a dream
We danced and sang the
Sweetest harmony
The words come back so clear
I remember when we sang
Paris dies in the morning
That's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no, no

[Solo]

When I awoke in the morning
She was nowhere to be found
That's why I'm standing
Waiting a t this river's edge
I know we'll never meet again
It was true when she said
Paris dies in the morning
(It ends this way)
The moment when it steals your heart
And then it loves you
Paris dies I the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no no
She disappeared in the morning light
She said that it would end this way
Did not believe her
Paris dies in the morning light
I know we'll never meet again

[Solo]

I know we'll never meet again
She's gone
Paris dies in the morning
