Paris Without You (St. Vincent's Court) - Kim Carnes

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)

We always said we'd hire a plane

That only flies at night

And we'd stay up forever

Just watching the lights

From deck chairs on a steamer

That only sails in summer

We'd chase the sun around the moon

No captain at the rudder

We'd go to Paris

The perfect time of year

We'd go all around the world

We'd go everywhere

But first we'd go to Paris

'cause I've always wanted to

And I just can't imagine

Walking Paris without you

A train that's on a one-way track

Winding through the Alps

Christmas in a parlor car

With no one else

Hire a car that only knows

A country road in England

Time will fly

We'll drive on by

Broken dreams a broken heart

And plans that never made it

All turn into fantasies

Each night I go to Paris

And hope that you'll be there

I go all around the world

I go everywhere

But first I go to Paris

'cause I always wanted to

And I just can't imagine

Walking Paris without you
