Champs-Élysées Songtext
von Exit Stage Left

Some nights after dinner when the sun has set
You′re carried away by the sound
A song on the radio from long ago
That brings something out of your mind
Do you remember the time you met
I ask with hesitant glee
It isn't the first time and it won′t be the last
And like every time I can see
How he suddenly smiles
Turns around as his eyes
Come alive

Well I remember it fondly
Have I told you this story before
How we met on the Champs-Élysées
So many years ago


I was new to the city the world felt alive
I was young and naive and in love
More than a lifetime could ever give
And one single smile was enough
To make Paris light up like a light

Well I remember it fondly
Have I told you this story before
How we met on the Champs-Élysées
So many years ago
And she never made it easy
Made me pay for every mistake
But that night on the Champs-Élysées
I made a promise I'd never break

Well I remember it fondly
Have I told you this story before
How we met on the Champs-Élysées
So many years ago
Well she never made it easy
Made me pay for every mistake
But that night on the Champs-Élysées
I made a promise I'd never break
That I′d never break
