Day 25 - Paris Was Not Meant to Be?

My darling you made promises to me

Years ago that we would visit that city

Where boulevards are made of the lovely and fine

Where we would find joie de vivre, yours and mine

The clock behind says it is not possible

The mighty ocean without you is uncross-able

So why did you leave me here so lonely

You will always be my one and only

This was your present, you said I was the gift

That in all the world, only I could lift

You, up and high into the skies above

Together we would discover the City of Love

But you have gone to the ground they say

And all my dreams have fallen away

Yet as I walk our quiet town and small places

There is nothing that is not yours in the faces

Our little flower shop where you bought the first bouquet

That is now the path leading me to places far away

That simple park bench where you caressed my hand

None in all the cities of the world could ever understand

Why that is the place I treasure more than all the rest

Anywhere we were, will forever be the best

But darling I do not know how with you gone

They swear the City of Love goes on

That the tower still pierces the night sky with light

That there are still dreams and hopes that are bright

It has gone away forever and ever

Now that we are not together

That is the fact that remains and lives on

The only one I think of, now that you are gone

So please come back and together we will be

The revivers of the joys of that beautiful city

It is unfair that a shot to your golden heart

Could be the last thing to tear us apart

Please my love, wake me from this nightmare

No one else knows just how you and I would care

Stop lying there and quickly come with me

To the place we always wanted, that beautiful city
