Title: You Were My Paris
Post by: gbm on February 03, 2014, 08:35:00 AM

Casia - Lyrics
Yolande Strauss - Music, Vocals
GBM - Midi arrangement, keys

This was finished in Casia's forum and didn't make it to Studio "A".

Yolande wrote and sang this song a capella, and I added this brass arrangement.

Lyrics: Casia

Sweet, sweet summer dream
You're a memory to me
You and your violin
Strummed me from deep within


Starry City Night
Love in the morning light
Every glass of wine
Is a whisper in time


(Chorus)
You were my Paris
On the River Seine
Just to get your way ...

Oh, sweet, sweet summer dream
What you meant to me
I'll never know for certain
If we were meant to be

(V3)
Oh, sweet summer dream
Moulin Rouge or so it seemed
A seductive dance
While we were holding hands

(V4)
Cafes late at night
A dozen kisses at twilight
Add a twist of fate
A lemon just for taste

(Chorus)
You were my Paris
On the River Seine
Just to get your way ....

Oh, sweet, sweet summer dream
What you meant to me
I'll never know for certain
If our love was meant to be

(Refrain)

Paris from the treetops
Paris from the stars
Paris from a postcard
A love that went too far

Oh, sweet, sweet summer dream
What you meant to me
I'll never know for certain
If your love was meant to be
I'll never know for certain
If our love was meant to be.....
