April in Paris.

I never knew the charm of spring;
I never met it face to face;
I never new my heart could sing;
I never missed a warm embrace;
Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees.
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise.

I never knew the charm of spring,
I never met it face to face,
I never new my heart could sing,
I never missed a warm embrace,
Till April in Paris.
Whom can I run to?
What have you done to my heart?
