Springtime in Paris

It’s a Tuesday in Paris  

At a little cafe  

You’re wearing that sundress  

That takes my breath away  

Glowing like the sun  

Hair shimmering of gold  

The scent of your skin  

A longing to hold  

  

I think of you often  

In so many ways  

Aimlessly drifting  

Time slipping away  

I think of you always  

In your Springtime of days  

You are still young  

While I fade away  

  

The breeze blowing gently  

Roses fill the air  

I need you so badly  

I just stand and stare  

Springtime in Paris  

Is the place to be free  

Make love all day long  

Goodbye to lonely  

  

I think of you often  

In so many ways  

Aimlessly drifting  

Time slipping away  

I think of you always  

In your Springtime of days  

You are still young  

While I fade away  

  

They say we were lovers  

How I wish that was true  

Do you even see me  

I’m right in front of you  

Your smile fills this chasm  

Your eyes light my soul  

Your voice calms this heartache  

Your love would make me whole  

  

I think of you often  

In so many ways  

Aimless and broken  

Time slipping away  

I think of you always  

In your Springtime of days  

You are so young  

While I fade away  

  

I’m dreaming to think  

That we will ever be  

I’ll love you forever  

Though you just don’t see  

One day you will know  

We were meant to be     

The life we should have had  

Now there’s nothing left of me   

  

Spare me your sad looks  

And just walk away  

It’s Springtime for you  

While I fade away  

Spare me your sad looks  

And just walk away  

It’s Springtime for you  

While I fade away  

I’m fading away
