My American girl Lyrics

She's from a little town in Colorado

That place is nice, she showed me a photo

She used to love to play her old piano

Yes but one day she felt that she had to go

She wanted to see

The world outside with her own eyes and not the one that's on TV

Her piano could not go that far

That's why she had to learn guitar

I got to know her in a bistro

We were two lovers walking the rue des Petits Carreaux

On the Pont Neuf one night we were fooling around in the snow

Yes but one day she felt that she had to go

She wanted to find

The real love some place some day, I guess it was not to be me

Sometimes I still have on my mind

Those happy little times with my American girl in Paris

She's from a little town in Colorado

Surrounded by beautiful mountains she told me so

Her cat loved to scratch at the window

Yes but one day she felt that she had to go

She wanted to see

The world outside with her own eyes and not the one that's on TV

Her kitty cat had to stay there

Unlike her worn out teddy bear

We used to drive on my scooter but we never took the metro

Around rue Mouffetard we went to see a friend who owns a resto

At the Parc de Belleville, what a view we had « Oh c'est très très beau! »

Et c'était même trop beau because one day she felt that she had to go

She wanted to find

The real love some place some day, I guess it was not to be me

Sometimes I still have on my mind

Those happy little times with my American girl in Paris

Sometimes I still have on my mind

Those happy little times with my American girl in Paris.
