Parisian Heartbreak

[Verse 1]
Love makes a drifting dream of moonlight
Love can make a distant song from starlight
Love inspires poetry most every night
You love – and then love delights

[Verse 2]
But time has a way of dashing moonlight dreams
And tides create the waves that drown the starlight beams
And poetry can never be reality
At least that's what seems to me to be

[Refrain]
For I dreamed of you falling into love, with me
And I wrote a song and sang to you so tenderly
But nothing in my poems wove into reality
Instead you just laughed at me

[Post-Refrain]
So now I trust nothing of what love eyes see
Of stars or of poetry
That's the way it has to be now that love has laughed at me

[Refrain]
I dreamed of you falling into love, with me
And I sang my song to you, ever so tenderly
But nothing in my poems wove into reality
Instead you just laughed at me

[Outro]
So time has a way of dashing moonlight dreams
And tides create the waves that drown the starlight beams
So now I trust nothing of what love eyes see
Of stars or of poetry
That's the way it has to be now that love has laughed at me
Now that love is over for me
