Lyrics

[Verse 1]
April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
No one can ever reprise
[Verse 2]
I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace
[Verse 3]
Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to?
What have you done to my heart?
[Verse 4]
I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace
[Verse 5]
Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to?
What did you mean to?
What have you done to my heart?
Written by: E.Y. "Yip" Harburg, Vernon Duke
