April In Paris
Ray Conniff & His Orchestra Lyrics

?

The lyrics of "April in Paris" by Ray Conniff and his Orchestra and Chorus perfectly captures the essence of the joy that spring can bring. The lyrics establish that the singer had never been in tune with the season before, but suddenly became aware of its charm and beauty when they found themselves in Paris during the month of April. The lines "I never knew the charm of spring, I never met it face to face, I never knew my heart could sing, I never missed a warm embrace" express the singer's amazement at finally experiencing the pleasures of spring.

The chorus of the song highlights the beauty of Paris in the springtime with chestnut trees in bloom, and tables set up under the trees for holiday meals. The singer expresses his awe towards the enchanting atmosphere of Paris during this time of the year with the expressive line "April in Paris, this is a feeling that no one can ever reprise". The final part of the song expresses the effect of Paris in April on the singer's heart with "Whom can I run to, what have you done to my heart?".
