Paris (Daniel's Version)

[Verse 1] I came to Paris to be still Watched the Seine like time could heal Walked the bridges like old maps Drank quiet coffee, left the past [Verse 2] The crowds began to gather near For midnight bells and a brand new year I looked up just to breathe it in— And there you were again [Pre-Chorus] Your coat was blue, your eyes were wide The kind of moment books can’t write [Chorus] (And there we were, in Paris light (Ten years gone, and it still felt right You said my name, I touched your face Like time had finally lost the race At midnight, with the world brand new I kissed you Like I always knew [Verse 3] You didn’t say, “I missed you too” You didn’t have to — I already knew We stood like silence had a sound And the city just spun around [Pre-Chorus] They cheered and laughed, the sky went wild But I only saw your smile [Chorus] (And there we were, in Paris light (Like the clock had waited for us that night I said, “Ten years and then,” you said, “It’s time” And I believed it — you were mine At midnight, all the noise fell through And I knew… It’s always been you [Outro – soft piano reprise] I came to Paris to let you go And left with a love I finally know Ten years… And then.
