about

The famous literary magazine and the city that gave it its name serve as the backdrop for this tale of a romance that unfolds at various locations across the fabled city that lovers love to love. It’s a jazzy medium paced ballad.

lyrics

Paris Review
We sipped sparking Veuve-Cliquot
On that brisk October day
Soaking up the ambience
in Amelie’s cafe
You wore your turquoise foulard
I wore my black beret
Two restless roving ramblers
From a country far away

Oh the leaves were falling gently
On the graves in Père Lachaise
On our journey through the tombstones
We hummed La Marseillaise
Surrounded by the spirit
Of every tragic name
Whose stories so eternal set
the scene for passion’s flame.

CHORUS
WELL HERE’S ANOTHER LOVE SONG
SET IN PARIS
OF A COUPLE WHO RESEMBLE ME AND YOU
YOUR MEMORIES MIGHT DIFFER
ON THE DETAILS
BUT I DECLARE THE STORY TO BE TRUE
WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL
TO SEE IT ONE DAY,
IN PRINT IN THE PARIS REVIEW

And Esmerelda danced for us
Across Ile St. Louis
And I kissed you for the first time
As the bells tolled solemnly
An old man with a violin
Played “As Time Goes By”
And we danced like Fred and Ginger
Beneath a Monet sky

And in the Abbey Book Shop
I found a poem to share
Of ill-fated wartime lovers
And their bittersweet affair
A girl whose laugh was music
Whose eyes lit up the room
A boy who marched for glory
Recalling her perfume
CHORUS
We surrendered to the city
her subtleties and charms
And spent the nights together
Enfolded in her arms
We defied the world around us
All its wickedness and strife
As we hailed the flag of romance
And flew the flag of life
WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL
TO SEE IT ONE DAY,
IN PRINT IN THE PARIS REVIEW
YES AND WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL
TO SEE IT ONE DAY,
IN PRINT IN THE PARIS REVIEW
