Reflective song on a relationship when we use to be part of Europe
lyrics
Autumn in Paris.
All the leaves had fallen down.
On the boulevards of Paris they littered the ground.
You told me you studied at the Sorbonne.
Fate through us together. It didn’t seem wrong…
I couldn’t resist your big sad eyes.
Holding you close and I felt you cry.
So I brought you flowers from the wrong side of town.
Stayed in bed for the whole week as the rain came down.
In your tiny apartment off the Boulevard St German.
I lost touch with reality I couldn’t give a dam.
A moment in time with no regrets…
Walking hand in hand on the Isle de la Cite.
The snow was falling outside the train.
Speeding through Flanders would I see you again?
But something was calling me. Calling me home.
I left you waving, standing alone.
Always remember me. Remember me please!
Especially that one night on the Isle St Louis.
And I’ll never forget you and spirit so free.
Making that Autumn in Paris so special for me!
