So, you said you wanted a song
To lift you from the aching of a Valentine's alone
Well I wrote you this to tell you it is done

So forget him now, forget him
He is gone

Listen, babe
If I were there today
I'd pick you up, take you by the hand, and lead you home
To a certain place that we both know
Wear your favourite summer dress and take my arm

And off in the evening we'll go
Wander beneath the marble arches, singin'

The Louvre under the sun
The Louvre under the sun
Though I don't understand it at all
I feel like I've known it all along

I'm a certain kind of a guy
Who thinks you're fine, adores the freckles pinned beneath your eyes
In fact, I'd say they drive me kind of wild
And that is that and that I can't deny

So let's stay up talking far too late
I want to find the secrets that you keep from everyone else
And rest assured I know you'll know me well
Ask me anything you want, girl, and I will tell you all

The violins clear their wooden throats
Murmuring incantations
Soft and low for us
And it goes

The Louvre under the sun
The Louvre under the sun
Though I don't understand it at all
I feel like I've known it all along

The Louvre under the sun
The Louvre under the sun
Though I don't understand it at all
I feel like I've known it all along

So, babe
Let's inquire a fate
And draw some straws and ask them should we leave or should we stay
But I think we know just what they're going to say
I think we know just what they're going to say
