Rodney Crowell
The Lights Of Paris
It was magnificent, a city like I'd never seen
The sense of history was deeper than I could dream
I walked down those tiny streets
And the big, beautiful boulevards
With every step, I thought of you
But I could not stop the pain in my heart
And even the lights of Paris can never shine as bright
As the fire in your hair of red
And the magic in your eyes
And I will never forget it
Still it's you I'm thinking of
Cause even the lights of Paris can't outshine your love
Everywherе a masterpiece
I could not see thеm all
I saw the Mona Lisa though
It's amazing, she's so small
I stood in a room full of Vincent Van Goghs
I could not tear myself away
Struck by light and color
Pure genius on display
And even the art of Paris
Somewhere has to have a price
Unlike the fire in your hair of red
And the passion in your eyes
And though I'll never forget it
It's still you I'm dreaming of
Cause even the lights of Paris
Can't outshine your love
Even the lights of Paris can never shine as bright
As the fire in your hair of red
And the passion in your eyes
And if I could stay there forever
It would never be enough
Cause even the lights of Paris can't outshine your love
No, even the lights of Paris can't outshine your love
