John Denver "A Country Girl In Paris" |
A country girl in Paris, Moonlight on the Seine Memories of Tennessee and Nashville in the rain It's such a contradiction; a heart that's filled with pain A country girl in Paris dreaming Nashville in the rain She walks along the boulevard Champs-Elysees Thinks about a country boy three thousand miles away Pride is such a hard thing, such a price to pay To be all alone in Paris, with true love so far away Up upon Montmartre where she stops to rest a while All the artists look at her and they long to paint her smile For even in her sorrow there's something in the eyes That makes the young men jealous and makes the old men sigh They say the loss of innocence is always linked to pain For once the heart is opened, nothing ever is the same So the evening lends itself to lovers and romance The way to heal a broken heart give true love just one more chance A country girl in Paris, Moonlight on the Seine Memories of Tennessee and Nashville in the rain It's such a contradiction; a heart that's filled with pain A country girl in Paris dreaming Nashville in the rain A country girl in Paris longing for Nashville in the rain Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
