I Love Paris
Phillips Esther Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies.
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears,
More and more do I realize:

I love Paris in the springtime.
I love Paris in the fall.
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles,

I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles.

I love Paris every moment,
Every moment of the year.

I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near.
