about

I love sitting at outdoor cafes and watch the world go by!

lyrics

A street cafe on the champs elysees
People going bout their day
Minding everyone else’s business
Seems to be the normal way

Paris it would appear has awoken
People are out for a jog
Stealing titbits from tables is
Madame Roux and her dog

Glasses on the end of her nose
Butter wouldn’t melt
Would never do anything wrong
Well that’s what we all felt

Springtime in Parie
The cafe watches on
People making choices
Some right and some are wrong
Do they have the answers?
Do they sow the seed?
Or are they just passing time
Dreaming of what they need

Celeste in her tight fitting dress
Holding the boys in court
She knew what game she was playing
Well that’s what we all thought

Now Giselle is an Actress just passing time
Her hopes and dreams uncovered
Grumbling at all the customers
Just waiting to be discovered

For Monsieur Fabile time has passed
He’s now just counting the cost
Of all his odd behaviours
And all the loves has lost

Springtime in Parie
The cafe watches on
People making choices
Some right and some are wrong
Do they have the answers?
Do they sow the seed?
Or are they just passing time
Dreaming of what they need

Pascal The waiter just wants to retire
Leave this all behind
Go and see the wide world
To see what he can find



The cafe has seen many tales
Some true and some so tall
People climbing the ladder
And some about to fall

Come back her same time next year
Something’s may now seem strange
But The problems remain just the same
Though names and faces change

Springtime in Parie
The cafe watches on
People making choices
Some right and some are wrong
Do they have the answers?
Do they sow the seed?
Or are they just passing time
Dreaming of what they need
