C'est Si Bon (It's So Good)

Jerry Seelen - Andre Hornez - Henri Betti

© Leeds Music, ASCAP

C'est si bon lovers say that in France when they thrill to romance
It means that it's so good
C'est si bon so I say to you like the French people do
Because it's oh so good

Every word every sigh every kiss dear
Leads to only one thought and the thought is this dear
C'est si bon nothing else can replace just your slyest embrace
And if you only would
Be my own for the rest of my days I will whisper this phrase
C'est si bon

Every word every sigh every kiss dear...

April in Paris oh can I run to
What have you done to my heart

April in Paris chestnuts is blossom holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris this is the feeling no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing never miss the warm embrace
April in Paris oh can I run to what have you done to my heart
[ instrumental ]
I never knew the charm of spring never met it face to face...
My heart my heart

Anna Sosenko

Darling je vous aime beaucoup je ne sais pas what to do
You know you've completely stolen my heart

Wish my French were good enough I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you'll compree all the things you mean to me
Darling je vous aime beaucoup I love you yes I do
[ instrumental ]
Wish my French were good enough I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you'll compree all the things you mean to me...

La Vie En Rose (Take Me To Your Heart Again)

Mack David - Edith Piaf - David Louiguy

© Harms Music, ASCAP

Hold me close and hold me fast the magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs and though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose

When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak angels sing from above
Every day's words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me and life will always be
La vie en rose

La la la la de de de de
Every day's words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me and life will always be
La vie en rose

The Poor People Of Paris (Jean's Song)

Jack Lawrence - Rene Rouzaud - Marguerite Mannot

© Connelly Music, ASCAP

Just got back from Paris France all they do is sing and dance
All they've got there is romance what a tragedy
Every boulevard has lovers every lover's in a trance
The poor people of Paree

I feel sorry for the French every guy has got a wench
Every couple's got a bench kissing shamelessly
Night and day they're making music while they're making love in French
The poor people of Paree
[ instrumental ]
Milk or water from the sink make a true Parisian shrink
Wine is all he'll ever drink and it worries me
For with wine as cheap as water oh it makes one stop and think
The poor people of Paree

Sister met a boy named Pierre had the craziest love affair
And the day they parted there he cried bitterly
Pierre was there to bid her farewell but he brought his new girl Claire
The poor people of Paree

So don't go to Paris France not unless you like to dance
Not unless you want romance like those poor inhabitants of Paree

The River Seine

Allan Roberts - Alan Holt

© Remick Music, ASCAP

There we met and there we parted
By the lovely river Seine
Two young lovers broken hearted
For we knew we'd loved in vain

And though years may go some day
I know she'll come to Paris again
And I'll find her where I lost her
By the lovely river Seine
[ instrumental ]
There we met and there we parted...
And though years may go some day...

The Last Time I Saw Paris

Oscar Hammerstein - Jerome Kern

© Harms Music, ASCAP

The last time I saw Paris her heart was warm and gay
I heard the laughter of her heart in every street cafe
The last time I saw Paris her trees were dressed for spring
And lovers walked beneath those trees and birds found songs to sing

I dodged the same old taxicabs that I had dodged for years
The chorus of the squeaky horns was music to my ears
Oh the last time I saw Paris her heart was warm and gay
No matter how they changed her I'll remember her oh that way
[ instrumental ]
Dodged the same old taxicabs that I had dodged for years...
The last time I saw Paris the last time I saw Paris

Mam'selle

Mack Gordon - Ed Goulding

© Leo Feist Music, ASCAP

A small caf mam'selle our rendezvous mam'selle
The violins were warm and sweet and so were you mam'selle

And as the night danced by each kiss became a sigh
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way that mine does for you
And yet I know too well someday you'll say goodbye
Then violins will cry and so will I mam'selle
[ instrumental ]
And as the night danced by each kiss became a sigh...

C'est Magnifique

Cole Porter

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

When love comes in and takes you for a spin
Oh la la la c'est magnifique
When every night your loved one holds you tight
Oh la la la c'est magnifique
But when one day your loved one drifts away
Oh la la la c'est magnifique
But when once more she whispers
Je t'adore c'est magnifique

Gigi

Alan Lerner - Fred Loewe

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Gigi am I a fool without a mind
Or have I merely been too blind to realize
Oh Gigi why you've been growing up before my very eyes
Gigi you're not at all that funny awkward little girl I knew oh no
Overnight there's been a breathless change in you

Oh Gigi while you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star
Oh Gigi have I been standing up too close or back too far
When did your sparkle turn to fire and your warmth become desire
Oh what miracle has made you the way you are
[ instrumental ]
Gigi while you were trembling on the brink...

I Love Paris

Cole Porter

© Buxton Hill Music, ASCAP

Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be the sky
Whether loud be her cheers or where soft be her tears
More and more do I realize

I love Paris in the springtime I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
Oh I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles

I love Paris every moment every moment of the year
I love Paris why oh why do I love Paris because my love is near
[ instrumental ]
I love Paris every moment every moment of the year
I love Paris why oh why do I love Paris because my love is near
My love is near love is near I love Paris
