city of light

<sub>to the city of light
i want to go
get away from it all
and fall in love

in the city of love
i met a girl
not from where i am from
but another world

i got tired of life on this side of the pond
so i decided to move on
i packed my bags and bought a one way trip
waved goodbye to my land from a sailing ship

to the city of light
i want to go
get away from it all
and fall in love

in the city of love
im bound to find
the love of my life
all i desire

when i arrived, the lights were all aglow
it was nothing like my former home
i walked down the street, not knowing where to go
with only my two feet to follow

to the city of light
i want to go
get away from it all
and fall in love

in the city of love
where love is found
or so i am told
im looking around

in the country the time moves slow
and its so easy to let things go
but in the city, city of romance
well, you must quickly seize your chance

so i took my advice, and i went on a search
that would last a whole life, and even more
who is this great love, that i am searching for
and does she think of me, as i do her

now the city of light
is my new home
i left everything
to fall in love

in the city of love
i wonder why
people come here to find it
time after time

now the city of light
it never sleeps
and the people keep wandering
on the beat

now the city of love
can be so cruel
it can turn the wisest man
into a fool

in the city of love</sub>
