We will always have Paris, my love So I cling to that old memory So many pages I've had to rip out Of all of my old diaries And all the things that I long to forget Are still clear in my bitter mind's eye But we will always have Paris, my love So it's still hard to say goodbye
The times and places I long to erase Are still the ones that I miss So why do I still see the ghost of your face? Still feel your lingering kiss? And all the things that I'm doomed to regret Are still clear in my bitter mind's eye Times and places will help me forget But it's still hard to say goodbye
So say we'll always have Paris, my love Tell me it's not all in vain And I'll tell you that you're my one and only love And I'll wait for you to tell me the same We felt at the time the happiest yet But it's gone in the blink of an eye But we will always have Paris, my love So it's still hard to say goodbye
