Lyrics

There was something about Paris
Seven years ago I promised
I would take you to the Eiffel,
You would smile when I mentioned
Tucked the tickets in an envelope
Hidden in the book you got for Christmas

When you read the final chapter
Beside me in our bed
You looked puzzled, disbelieving,
Then you jumped out of the covers,
And you danced around the bedroom
You were laughing as the tears filled up your eyes

You were nervous and excited
You held on to my hand
The lights along the runway
Held your breath until we landed
It was dirty, smelled of cigarettes.
Everything there did
And you loved every minute
So I loved every minute

Back at home in our apartment
The magnet on our fridge
You talked about it often
The little things we did
You lost your raincoat on the train
But the sun shone every day
It was perfect

The meals left to burn
Forgotten names of friends
The mistakes I tried to cover
To tie up your loose ends
You were angry, I was grieving
As your memories slipped away
They were fading, you are fading
Drifting further every day

Now I sit here by your bedside
I am kissing you and crying
Your eyes are nearly closed,
Your breathing slows
Before you go
I lean in as you whisper
Something about Paris
Something about Paris
Something
