Paris Without You (st Vincent's Court) Lyrics - Kim Carnes

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson) 

We always said we'd hire a plane 

That only flies at night 

And we'd stay up forever 

Just watching the lights 

From deck chairs on a steamer 

That only sails in summer 

We'd chase the sun around the moon 

No captain at the rudder 

We'd go to Paris 

The perfect time of year 

We'd go all around the world 

We'd go everywhere 

But first we'd go to Paris 

'cause I've always wanted to 

And I just can't imagine 

Walking Paris without you 

A train that's on a one-way track 

Winding through the Alps 

Christmas in a parlor car 

With no one else 

Hire a car that only knows 

A country road in England 

Time will fly 

We'll drive on by 

Broken dreams a broken heart 

And plans that never made it 

All turn into fantasies 

Each night I go to Paris 

And hope that you'll be there 

I go all around the world 

I go everywhere 

But first I go to Paris 

'cause I always wanted to 

And I just can't imagine 

Walking Paris without you
