lyrics

In the Bois de Boulogne
I thought I heard a voice
Saying "Here you belong
You have no choice."
On the banks of the Seine
I thought I heard a cry
Calling "You'll come again
You won't know why - and don't try."

PARIS HAS ME
Stolen me away
Willingly I stay
PARIS HAS ME
Holds me in her arms
No need for alarms
Here the sirens sing it
Hear the church bells ring it
Hear the warm air bring it

By the Eiffel Tower
I heard a sparrow sing
"She has you in her power
Paris - and Spring."
On the Champs Elysees
A brief aperitif
And wine every day
This town's a thief without grief

PARIS HAS ME
Stolen me away
Willingly I stay
PARIS HAS ME
Holds me in her arms
No need for alarms
Here the sirens sing it
Hear the church bells ring it
Hear the warm air bring it
