City of Light

The last time she saw Paris, it was in her dreams

as she was eating an eclair with extra cream

The last time she saw Paris it was in a history

book and the twirl of a globe

The last time she saw Paris she was atop the Eiffel Tower

Ah! the last time she really saw Paris was on the travel channel

as she pretended to dance ballet at the Champs Elysees and the

music played on in her head, has her imagination no end, the last

time she saw Paris, she stopped by in the rain to see the Seine River

and then she woke up, once again
