Paris Café

It was my first day in Paris I didn't know a soul on the Seine So I wandered up and down the streets Hoping I'd forget your name I drank a glass of Muscat And ate some reblochon But everywhere I turned I felt that you were gone Why did you have to say goodbye? Why did you have to leave that day? I thought we had the best in life But life got in our way You finally closed the door And left me standing there With nothing left for me to do or say That's why I'm in this French café It was my first night in Paris The lights all glowed like pearls And everywhere I looked I saw Those pretty Paris girls But I just walked right by them And toward the Notre Dame Hoping that this big ol' church Would take away my pain Why did you have to say goodbye? Why did you have to leave that day? I thought we had the best in life But life got in our way You finally closed the door And left me stranded there With nothing left for me to do or say That's why I'm in this French café How many times have you been on my mind? I couldn't count the memories left behind Why did you have to say goodbye? Why did you have to leave that day? I thought we had the best in life But life got in our way You finally closed the door And left me stranded there With nothing left for me to do or say That's why I'm in this French café With nothing left for me to do or say That's why I'm in this French café Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
