\nIn Paris town lives a lady
\nMaybe drinks coffee in a cafe
\nDark hair, nice smile, long legs
\nWell it is I remember her<\/p>\n
If her today I saw
\nAnd into her eyes looked
\nShed look at me unknowing
\nFor she would not know me<\/p>\n
And if her eyes were not so nice
\nHer hair so dark and legs so long
\nWhen she told me she was from Paris
\nI would not have remembered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
