TEN YEARS AGO IN PARIS
WHEN LIFE WAS AS IT SHOULD BE
WHEN EV'RY HOUR OF EV'RY DAY
WAS WONDERFUL AS COULD BE
WHEN I COULD STAND ON TOP OF CRATES
AND RUN FOR TEA THROUGH OPEN GATES
TEN YEARS AGO
OR WAS IT YESTERDAY

TEN YEARS AGO IN PARIS
THE RACES WE WOULD RUN
THE AFTERNOONS WE CURSED THE CLOUDS
AND WAITED FOR THE SUN
WHEN I COULD WALK FROM HERE TO THERE
AND KNEEL TO SAY AN EVENING PRAYER
TEN YEARS AGO
OR WAS IT YESTERDAY

TEN YEARS AGO
EACH DAY WAS LIKE A GOLDEN CUP OF HONEY
AND WE WOULD DRAIN THE VESSEL TO THE DREGS
TILL IT WAS DRY
WE SPENT THE HOURS CARELESSLY
LIKE ENDLESS STACKS OF MONEY
TO GAIN THE THINGS
THAT MONEY COULDN'T BUY

TEN YEARS AGO IN PARIS
THE NIGHTS WE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER
A HANDSOME PRINCE FOR EV'RY GIRL
A HAPPY-EVER-AFTER
WHEN WE WOULD WADE IN SILVER STREAMS
AND STAY AWAKE INVENTING DREAMS
TEN YEARS AGO
OR WAS IT YESTERDAY
