I feel so lost and lonely
Standing by the river Seine
I don't know how I got here or why I came
But everywhere I see her smiling face
I remember

We met somewhere in the back streets
Of this city from another age
And talking broken English 'til the darkness came
And in my room she called me by my name
And she whispered

Paris dies in the morning
That's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no, no
It disappears in the sunshine
It's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
It's always gonna be that way

When we made love in that hotel
Like I never made before
Thought I would die
When she whispered slow
Je te marai toujours
She was wild and enchanting
And the night was like a dream
We danced and sang the sweetest harmony
The words come back so clear
I remember when we sang
Paris dies in the morning
That's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no, no
It disappears in the sunshine
It's something that they never say
They never tell you
Paris dies in the morning light
It's always gonna be that way

When I awoke in the morning
She was nowhere to be found
That's why I'm standing
Waiting at this river's edge
I know we'll never meet again
It was true when she said

Paris dies in the morning
(It ends this way)
The moment when it steals your heart
And then it leaves you
Paris dies in the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no no
She disappeared in the morning light
She said that it would end this way
Did not believe her
Paris dies in the morning light
I know we'll never meet again
We'll never meet again
She's gone

Paris dies in the morning
That's something that they never say
Paris dies in the morning light
You'd never think it late at night, no, no
It disappears in the sunshine
It's something that they never say
Paris dies in the morning light
It's always gonna be that way
