The First Time I Saw Paris Songtext
von Linda Eder

The first time I saw Paris
I was standing in the moonlight
The sky was streaked with stars and it was summertime
And there were swallows on the rooftops above
Singing songs of love
And forever sing the million miles away
And yet

The first time I saw Paris
There was laughter in the cafés
Girls were sharing kisses with their sweethearts
And there were painters selling pictures on every corner
That you turn down
Oh, so many stories still to tell


And time did flee
Time did fly
And time and time again
I find myself still wondering how it happened

The first time I saw Paris
I was sitting on your doorstep
I held a blue umbrella
but the sky was clear

I didn′t realize you'd already left without saying goodbye
Yes, nothing lasts forever
Yes, it′s true
Oh, the first time I saw Paris
I was loving you

How time flees
How time flies
