| 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» |
