[Verse 1] Under the blue skies of Paris your name stayed in my coat On the bridge by the river I watched the late light float Your laugh was a glass of water cool on a tired hand Now the day keeps moving but I still don’t understand [Pre-Chorus] Every echo feels like memory every alley knows my face I keep turning toward the empty where you used to leave your trace [Chorus] Blue skies of Paris blue skies of Paris Guess some promises don’t survive the night Blue skies of Paris blue skies of Paris Love was soft thunder then it lost the light [Verse 2] At a café window, silver rain ran lines across the view A lost street map in my notebook still leads me back to you I held your goodbye like a ticket thin and easy to tear Now the morning looks like forgiveness but it never takes me there [Pre-Chorus] Every echo feels like memory every wall remembers sound I keep reaching for the season that was gone before it found [Chorus] Blue skies of Paris blue skies of Paris Guess some promises don’t survive the night Blue skies of Paris blue skies of Paris Love was soft thunder then it lost the light [Bridge] Maybe all the gold we held was borrowed from the sun Maybe what we call forever is just the race we lost and won Still I see you in the river still I feel you in the air Some ghosts don’t ask for mercy they just stay because they care [Final Chorus] Blue skies of Paris blue skies of Paris Guess some promises don’t survive the night Blue skies of Paris blue skies of Paris Love was soft thunder then it lost the light Blue skies of Paris blue skies of Paris And I let it go but I keep our nights
