THE GAY PARIS Paroles et musique: P. Juvet, V. Willis, J. Morali, 1979
I am writing you this letter
'Cause I think that I'd feel better
If I say "Hello"...
Yes, I know it's been a long time
But never is it the wrong time
To let feelings show.
And I know it may sound funny,
But I sure do miss you, honey,
More than you could know,
I loved you so...
Why'd you go?
I remember when you and I were brand new,
I remember with all of the guys we shared, too,
Now the time has broken us up, I'm so blue,
And my life is so very dull without you...
Yes, you and me,
Shared old gay Paris,
Come back and let us bring gay Paris to life...
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
I remember dancing, lots of rare treats,
I remember treating you like my own queen,
From the night came one for the hour of Maxim's,
When the sun left you on the list with (?)...
So "c'est fait gay", aux Champs-Elysées,
The Arc de Triomphe I have become,
And say...
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
I was on the scene, if you don't remember,
A score that cheat for the long, remember,
All the way from (?), so please wait.
I'll deliver the thing that he left the whole night
Aye, every day I still go by fast,
Stand on the Eiffel Tower and call your name...
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
Hey, the gay Paris,
It's not so gay without you, baby
