The last time I saw Par-is, 
-5    6   -5   -4  -5  -6*
her heart was warm and gay,
-5  6   -5    5   -5  8   8    -7
I heard the laugh-ter of her heart 
-5  8  8    -7   -8  7  
in ev-‘ry street ca-fé

-5    6   -5 -4 -5   7  7
The last time I saw Par-is, 
-5    6    -5    -4    -5   -6*
her trees were dressed for spring,
-5   6  -5    5    -5   8     8    -7
And lov-ers walked be-neath those trees 
-5    8     8    -7   -8   7
and birds found songs to sing.

7   -7   -8   7   -7  -6*-6* -6*
I dodged the same old tax-i-cabs 
-8  -7 -8    7    -7   -6*
that I had dodged for years.
-7   -8  8* -7  -8     7*   7*  7*
The chor-us of their squeak-y horns 
7*  -8  -7  7 6  -5
was mus-ic to my ears.

-5   6    -5 -4 -5   7  7
The last time I saw Par-is, 
-5    6   -5   -4  -5  -6*
her heart was warm and gay,
-5  6   8  -8   -7    -9    6
No mat-ter how they change her, 
6    6   6   8  -7   -8   7
I'll re-mem-ber her that way.
