Píseň: A Country Girl In Paris

Interpret:
John Denver
Album:
Spirit
A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine 
 Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain 
 Its such a contradiction, a heart thats filled with pain 
 A country girl in Paris, dreamin Nashville in the rain 


 She walks along the boulevard, Champs Alysee 
 Thinks about a country boy three thousand miles away 
 Pride is such a hard thing, its such a price to pay 
 To be all alone in Paris with true love so far away 


 Up upon Mont Martre when she stops to rest awhile 
 All the artists look at her and they long to paint her smile 
 For even in her sorrow theres something in her eyes 
 That makes the young men jealous, makes the old men sigh 


 They say the loss of innocence is always linked to pain 
 For once the heart is opened nothing ever is the same 
 And so the evening lends itself to lovers and romance 
 The way to heal a broken heart is to give true love 
 One more chance 


 A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine 
 Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain 
 Its such a contradiction, a heart thats filled with pain 
 A country girl in Paris, dreamin Nashville in the rain 
 A country girl in Paris, longing for Nashville in the rain
