Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics:

Ev’ry time I look down
On this timeless town,
Whether bule or grey be her skies,
Whether loud be her cheers,
Or whether soft be her tears,
More and more I do realize

REFRAIN:

I love Paris in the springtime,
I love Paris in the fall.
I love Paris in the winter, when it drizzles,
I love Paris in the summer, when it sizzles,
I love Paris ev’ry moment,
Ev’ry moment of the year,
I love Paris,
Why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near.

REPEAT REFRAIN
