I Love Paris   Ella Fitzgerald

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

I love Paris in the spring time
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
