[intro | very brief |choppy guitar and violin] [Verse 1 | Heavy french accent] Rue de l’Abreuvoir I saw my first eclipse there And met my first love We ran through the narrow streets of Montmartre We went all the way to Sacré-Cœur And watched the sun come up [Pre-Chorus] We said "The whole world will be ours someday" But now I'm— [Chorus | Heavy French accent] Settled down in New York City Living with a guy who forgets my name I was so young and pretty then I miss when you and I were living for today On the Rue de l'Abreuvoir [Instrumental verse| guitar and violin] [Verse 2 | Heavy french accent] I felt so very much alive back then Cafes, wine, and rainy bedroom days Now I'm older, but not really wiser. I miss when we had our youth and laughed together... On the Rue de l'Abreuvoir [Verse 3 | Heavy french accent] But I left everything behind When I ran away from Paris. Life were happening way too fast then. Maybe I shouldn't have left But it seemed wise at the time. I think I was afraid of love [Pre-Chorus | Heavy French accent] Now I'm lying in my empty bed And I wonder... [Chorus | Heavy French accent] What if I had stayed in Paris? Would you still be there too? Would we still be happy Living on the Rue de l'Abreuvoir? [Whispered] Is it too late to go back? [Final Chorus | In French] Et si j'étais restée à Paris ? Y serais-tu encore, toi aussi ? Serions-nous encore heureux à vivre rue de l'Abreuvoir ? [Whispered] Est-il trop tard pour revenir ?
