Original music and lyrics by Cole Porter:

Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies
Whether loud be her cheers or whether soft be her tears
More and more do I realize that

I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris
Why, oh, why do I love Paris?
Because my love is here

French interlude (written by James R. Whitley):
Quand j'etais jeune, j'etais amoureux de quelqu'un
Mais pas aujourd'hui
Qu'est-ce que je peux dire?
J'etais jeune, j'etais fou
Mais pas aujourd'hui
L'amour, la vie
La vie, l'amour
Which is crueler?
Life or love?
