It's a rainy night in Paris

And the harbor lights are low

He must leave his love in Paris

Before the winter snow

On a lonely street in Paris

He held her close to say

"We'll meet again in Paris

When there are flowers on the Champs-Elysees"

"How long" she said "How long

And will your love be strong

When you're across the sea

Will your heart remember me?"

Then she gave him words to turn to

When the winter nights were long

"Nous serons encore amoureux

Avec les couleurs du printemps"

"And then" she said "And then

Our love will grow again"

Ah, but in her eyes he sees

Her words of love are only words to please

And now the lights of Paris

Grow dim and fade away

And I know by the light of Paris

I will never see her again
