"Paris" by Faith Hill (Blair Daly/Gordie Sampson/Troy Verges)

1st Verse

The train pulled into Paris
Like a rocket to the moon
The station's like a circus
Every face is a cartoon
Everybody's stoned on pride
And drunk on cheap champagne
Tonight this joie de'vivre
Sure don't live up to its name
Now all that I can say is

Chorus

(And) I'd give this world to you
Every rock and every stone
Every masterpiece in Rome
And if you ask me to
I'd steal the Mona Lisa
Tear it up in little pieces
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you Paris

2nd Verse

Aristocrats are everywhere
And the air is thick as thieves
She'd like nothin' better than
To steal the breath from me
The Tower's lights ain't shinin'
As it hangs its head in shame
At the sight of American blood
On the streets of St. Germain
Washin' up into the Seine

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

And I'd give this world to you
I'd steal the Crown and Kingdom
From the Queen of England
And if you ask me to
I'd take the city in my hands
Break it down in grains of sand
And lay them at your feet
For all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you Paris
