Paris, My Love

We will always have Paris, my love
So I cling to that old memory
So many pages I’ve had to rip out
Of all of my old diaries
And all the things that I long to forget
Are still clear in my bitter mind’s eye
But we will always have Paris, my love
So it’s still hard to say goodbye
The times and places I long to erase
Are still the ones that I miss
So why do I still see the ghost of your face?
Still feel your lingering kiss?
And all the things that I’m doomed to regret
Are still clear in my bitter mind’s eye
Times and places will help me forget
But it’s still hard to say goodbye
So say we’ll always have Paris, my love
Tell me it’s not all in vain
And I’ll tell you that you’re my one and only love
And I’ll wait for you to tell me the same
We felt at the time the happiest yet
But it’s gone in the blink of an eye
Are still clear in my bitter mind’s eye
But we will always have Paris, my love
So it’s still hard to say goodbye
