The best thing when I finally got to Paris
Wasn't Mary and the angels at Notre Dame
The best thing when I finally got to Paris
Were not the walks along the Rue Saint Severin
The best thing when I finally got to Paris
Was not the Seine, or the chocolate on the bed
The best thing when I finally got to Paris
Was holding the hand of one I wish to wed
The best thing when I finally got to Paris
Wasn't Avant Garde, or freshly bakes baguettes
The Best thing when I finally got to Paris
Was not Montmartre or even Crepe suzette
The Best thing when I finally got to Paris
Was not the Louvre where I made a secret prayer
The best thing when I finally got to Paris
Was holding the hand of one who took me there
And all our dreams are floating down the Seine
Will we find them once again?
'Cause all those dreams, those dreams that made us cry
Can come back anytime and stay to dry your eye
The best thing when you finally got to Paris
Wasn't champagne or Christian Dior
The best thing when you finally got to Paris
Wasn't cinema or saying j'tadore
The best thing when you finally got to Paris
Wasn't coffee and cognac in the street
The best thing when you finally got to Paris
Was the one who made your heart begin to beat
The Best thing when you finally got to Paris
Was not Moulin Rouge or even Sacre Couer
The Best thing when you finally got to Paris
Was not the sound of Chat Noir begin to purr
The best thing when you finally got to Paris
Was not the pyramid you picked up in your hands
The best thing when you finally got to Paris
Was being there with one who understands
And all our dreams are floating on the Seine
Will we find them once again?
'Cause all those dreams that made us cry
Can come back anytime and stay to dry your eye
The best thing if you finally get to Paris
Is not, what you take from view to view
The best thing if you finally get to Paris
Is what you take to Paris with you
