April in Paris
Paul Mauriat And His Orchestra Lyrics

The lyrics of Paul Mauriat And His Orchestra's song "April in Paris" describe the singer's revelation of the beauty and joy of springtime, specifically in Paris. The song opens with the admission that the singer has never truly experienced the charm of spring, nor has he ever felt the urge to sing or embrace someone warmly. However, all of this changes when he spends April in Paris, witnessing the beauty of blossoming chestnut trees and the joyous activity of holiday-goers dining under them. The singer describes this experience as a feeling that can never be replicated, as April in Paris has opened his eyes to the magic of the season and the city.

The repetition of the song's first verse emphasizes the transformative power of April in Paris on the singer's heart and perspective. The final line, "What have you done to my heart," conveys the intensity of this experience and the emotions that arise from it. The question "Whom can I run to" reinforces the idea that the singer is at a loss for words or actions, and is simply overcome by the beauty and wonder of his surroundings.
