Lyrics

April’s in the air
But here in Paris
April wears a different gown
You can see her waltzing down the street
The tang of wine is in the air
I’m drunk with all the happiness
That spring can give
Never dreamed it could be
So exciting to live

Refrain
April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is the feeling
No one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart?
