samba blue

we said goodbye one last time at the louvre

our long happy summer was through

just lovers in paris as common as doves

but i still think of you

samba blue

just how long has it been?

i still remember when

we strolled the champs elysees

sharing a warm baguette

coffee with anisette

we kissed in the metro

in love very retro

i've visited paris so many times since

and it always reminds me of you

and happily now all these many years hence

you are still by my side

samba blue

to astrud gilberto tunes

we made love in the afternoon

then strolled down the champs elysees

sharing a warm baguette

coffee with anisette

we kissed in the metro

in love very retro

we're together again

by the seine

samba blue

on the grand avenues

me and you

samba blue
