European Flowers Don't Grow In The U.S.A. |
I left my home in Texas, riding European bound |
Here’s a story of a cowboy and the French girl’s love he found |
The first time I saw Paris, I saw it in her eyes |
I remember how I loved her, underneath those french blue skies |
She said: «I'll never leave you"I said: «Please, come home with me» |
And then I heard her say: «I'll have to wait and see» |
We took a boat from some German town, and floated down the Rhine |
We spend our nights in small hotels and drank eachother’s wine |
We walked the hills of Spain, saw London in the rain |
That was the last time I saw her again |
She said: «European flowers don’t grow in the USA |
I love you more than anything but it’s you who have to stay |
If you love me, understand me, it’s the only way |
'Cause European flowers don’t grow in the USA» |
I went home so all alone, with her always on my mind |
I couldn’t eat nor sleep, knowing I’d left her behind |
I never heard a word from her, so I wrote and asked her why: |
«Does Paris look the same as it used to in your eyes?» |
I finally got your picture, who’s the baby close to you? |
He looks just like a Texas boy who fell in in love with you |
I’ll be flying back to you soon on a one way ticket ride |
Don’t be ashamed to use my name, there’s nothing for you to hide |
She said: «European flowers don’t grow in the USA |
I love you more than anything but it’s you who have to stay |
If you love me, understand me, it’s the only way |
'Cause European flowers don’t grow in the USA» |
«European flowers don’t grow in the USA |
I love you more than anything but it’s you who have to stay |
If you love me, understand me, it’s the only way |
'Cause European flowers don’t grow in the USA» |
