Paris Becomes You Lyrics

The only Paris I know, with you by my side, lost on the way

A beautiful, half-fashioned glow

Haunting our nights, painting our days

Wandering paths of your mind, making wrong turns

Facing dead-ends

Backtracking into the light, out of the rain

Beginning again

Paris becomes you

Wrapped up in moonlight, veiled in white

Paris becomes you

Drifting through doorways, feel our way

Paris becomes you

I wander the halls of your mind, alone in my thoughts

Though you are my guide

While most of the subtleties there are but half-perceived

I'm still mystified

We climb up the tower of lights, commanding a view

Wonders all around

A shivering beauty pervades this windy height

It forces me down

Paris becomes you

I wander the halls of your mind

Searching through subways, breaking day

Paris becomes you

A shivering beauty pervades, holy cathedrals as evening falls

Paris becomes you

Your kindness, as fleeting as soft summer skies

You burden my mind while you dazzle my eyes

All your stated designs may go misunderstood

You're playful and teasing and often displeasing

But somehow, above all, you're good

Paris becomes you

The only Paris I know, searching through subways, breaking day

Paris becomes you

Backtracking into the light, holy cathedrals as evening falls

Paris becomes you

I wander the halls of your mind, walking the by-ways, trapped in a maze

Paris becomes you

A shivering beauty pervades, partly by force yet completely yours
