Paris Dies In the Morning - 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
