Janis Ian
Paris In Your Eyes
[Verse 1]
Every time I see you
I see Paris in your eyes
A hint of the forbidden, Brigitte Bardot style
Every time I dream of you
I dream that distant land
Where I once held tomorrow in my hand
[Chorus]
First time I saw Paris in your eyes
You told me how you loved me
Under blue Picasso skies
We spoke of Michelangelo
And we solved each other's lives
The first time I saw Paris in your eyes
[Verse 2]
Every time I touched you
I could taste a breath of spring
April in Paris is every lover's dream
Every time I'd call your name
It would sound so much in tune
Just like Notre Dame Cathedral at high noon
[Chorus]
First time I saw Paris in your eyes
You told me how you loved me
Under blue Picasso skies
We spoke of Michelangelo
And we solved each other's lives
The first time I saw Paris in your eyes
[Bridge]
Now every time I see you
April showers seem to start
And they rain on every hope I have
'Til they hurricane my heart
Every time I dream of you
I just dream of what we had
And wonder, how could something so good go so bad?
[Chorus]
The last time I saw Paris in your eyes
You told me you were leaving
Under blue Picasso skies
We spoke of Michelangelo
And we believed each other's lies
The last time I saw Paris in your eyes
The last time I saw Paris in your eyes
