Lyrics for No Moon in Paris

There's no moon, no moon in Paris And it's very lonely here tonight Everywhere else there's a full moon But not here, not now, and nothing's going right What can I do but pretend to be brave? And pretend to be strong when I'm not? There's no moon, no moon in Paris tonight And it's lonely, and that's what I got No moon, no moon in Paris And it's very lonely here tonight When I think of all the moons that shone for us so distantly All through the full moon night It always made me gasp, gasp with love to see But that was when I still loved you, and you loved me There's no moon, no moon in Paris tonight And it's lonely, and that's all I've got Everything passes, everything changes There's no way to stay the same As we love, and so above The only thing that stays the same is love I've seen the moon in Morocco And I've seen the moon in Brazil Oh, I've seen it in the darkest times Coming over the hill In Martinique, it shines on the sea But in Paris, it usually shines on me There's no moon, no moon in Paris And it's lonely, as lonely as can be
