A Spark Beneath the Paris Sky
Verse 1
Her eyes invited me—not with command,
but with a soft, "Monsieur, would you take my hand?"
Tea she sipped, though I loved strong café,
but how could I resist when she looked my way?
Her name was Éloïse Bellemarche, in ribbons of rose,
blushing as the street musician played and arose.
I whispered, "Ma belle, anything for you,"
and the gray city washed in a brilliant blue.
Chorus
Oh, a spark caught fire beneath the Paris sky,
where the Seine rolled gold as the clouds swept by.
A canvas untamed, two shadows that spun,
under zinc-copper roofs and a Belle Époque sun.
Light in the lanterns, wine in the glass—
oh, how quick the sweet hours pass!
A spark beneath the Paris sky,
and our love had just begun.
Verse 2
The gardens of Montmartre became our retreat,
where cobblestone laughter met clumsy feet.
She said, "Let’s walk and talk, if you please,"
and we drifted like notes in a morning breeze.
I am Julien Morel, a painter of skies,
yet all of Montmartre faded behind her eyes.
That sudden lightning strike of early June—
she held my arm tight, promised noon after noon.
Chorus
Oh, a spark caught fire beneath the Paris sky,
where the Seine rolled gold as the clouds swept by.
A canvas untamed, two shadows that spun,
under zinc-copper roofs and a Belle Époque sun.
Light in the lanterns, wine in the glass—
oh, how quick the sweet hours pass!
A spark beneath the Paris sky,
and our love had just begun.
Bridge
Midnight chimed from the tall Notre-Dame,
spilling its grace like a timeless balm.
I slipped her a parchment with ink tipped in gold,
the sweetest secret two lovers could hold:
"Ma chère Éloïse, let the night never fade,
come waltz once again in the lime-tree shade."
Chorus
Oh, a spark caught fire beneath the Paris sky,
where the Seine rolled gold as the clouds swept by.
A canvas untamed, two shadows that spun,
under zinc-copper roofs and a Belle Époque sun.
Light in the lanterns, wine in the glass—
oh, how quick the sweet hours pass!
A spark beneath the Paris sky,
and our love had just begun.
Outro
Moonlight bowed low on her doorstep of stone,
whispering soft that we weren’t alone.
"Julien," she sighed, with a breath like perfume,
chasing the shadows right out of the room.
Two hearts in tune...
Under an 1890 moon...
A promise spun,
a waltz begun.
Beneath the Paris sky...
our love had just begun.
(Fading accordions along the Seine...)
Our love had just begun.
