no moon in paris

there's no moon

no moon in paris

and it's very lonely here tonight

everywhere else there's a full moon

but not here

not now

and nothing's going right

what can i do but pretend to be brave

and pretend to be strong when i'm not

there's no moon

no moon in paris tonight

and it's lonely and that's all i got

no moon

no moon in paris

and it's very lonely here tonight

when i think of all the moons that shone for us

so distantly

all through the full moon night

it always made me gasp

gasp with love to see

but that was when i still loved you

and you loved me

there's no moon

no moon in paris tonight

and it's lonely

and that's all i got

everything passes

everything changes

there's no way to stay the same

as below

then so above

the only thing that stays the same is love

i've seen the moon in morocco

and i've seen the moon in brazil

oh

i've seen it in the darkest times

coming over the hill

in martinique it shines on the sea

but in paris it usually shines on me

there's no moon

no moon in paris

and it's lonely

as lonely as can be
