Once Upon A Time In Montréal Songtext
von Murray Lightburn

Once upon a time in Montréal
The only place I can recall
Albeit in a bleary haze
That′s what it's like these final days

The story goes something like this
We must pursue domestic bliss
The time is now, the place is here
I′ll learn some French, avec plaisir


I'll sacrifice what little I've
My saxophone and all that jive
I′ll get a job and work as hard
As God allows me to, oh

I′ll do my very best to hide
The bitterness, it will subside
It may take years or decades

I never got used to those freezing nights
But life with you was paradise
With no regrets, I'll say goodnight
From Montréal
