Words & Music by Gerlach/Hartmann

I’ve always said that once I’d love to go
to Paris for my birthday
walk along La Seine in early spring
I got this feeling you were making plans
to surprise me
but I pretended not to know

And if it rains this year, even if it snows
I couldn’t care less ‘cause I won’t be home

I bought a dress of yellow silk and it
was much too expensive
I could see myself on Champs-Élysées
I had my suitcase packed and already
arranged with my sister
she would take the dog for a week

And if it rains this year, even if it snows
I couldn’t care less ‘cause I won’t be home

The day before my birthday I awoke
in a room too silent
all you left me was a note

And then it rained this year, yes it even snowed
you walked along La Seine and I was here alone
oh yes it even snowed
you walked along La Seine and I was here alone

I bought a dress of yellow silk and it
was much too expensive
I could see myself on Champs-Élysées
