Champs-Élysées Lyrics

Some nights after dinner when the sun has set

You're carried away by the sound

A song on the radio from long ago

That brings something out of your mind

Do you remember the time you met

I ask with hesitant glee

It isn't the first time and it won't be the last

And like every time I can see

How he suddenly smiles

Turns around as his eyes

Come alive

Well I remember it fondly

Have I told you this story before

How we met on the Champs-Élysées

So many years ago

I was new to the city the world felt alive

I was young and naive and in love

More than a lifetime could ever give

And one single smile was enough

To make Paris light up like a light

Well I remember it fondly

Have I told you this story before

How we met on the Champs-Élysées

So many years ago

And she never made it easy

Made me pay for every mistake

But that night on the Champs-Élysées

I made a promise I'd never break

Well I remember it fondly

Have I told you this story before

How we met on the Champs-Élysées

So many years ago

Well she never made it easy

Made me pay for every mistake

But that night on the Champs-Élysées

I made a promise I'd never break

That I'd never break
