If We Were Both In Paris

If we were both in Paris We on different time zones Always coming and goin I’m on this lonely balcony Cigar smoke blowin I’m as lonely as Gatsby Cloaked in white with blue All the way down to my sox Looking at the time on the clock It’s awful lonely when does your ship dock When does your flight land When does your car port Get out the flutes, Pop the cork Roll out the red carpet, Your outfit crème and sorbet Deliciously clad in a dessert shade of sherbet Make up perfect You glided in floating Amongst the stars And I’m gloating You finer than a miracle You celestial, angel Hot air balloon delivering A cold piece descending My face says it all no pretending That’s when I awaken From this dream So real it all seems The neighbors heard me scream I miss you terribly I’m just too embarrassed This wouldn’t happen if we were both in Paris I just had to ask Didn’t want to come off crass I think fast, on my feet and I outclass The best of them and the rest of them we give shade as we pass I come baring gifts, not to harass A one way trip outta here Imagine if we were both in Paris Staring at the Eiffel, surrounded by fine Art, and fancy cuisine, can’t you feel the love in the air Let’s get into a little espionage Pull back the shades sleep in It almost feels like a mirage Love is my alibi Passion is my disguise If I’m captured head quarters will disavow any knowledge of my mission Will you come to find me enlisting the foreign legion? If there was any doubt whose kiss is sweeter Sweeping me off my feet with a daring rescue I found a keeper! Together atop this most romantic of city views from the highest peeks on top this terrace. This fairytale could truly happen if we were both in Paris.
