Paris Blues - Billy Strayhorn

Left bank café

Strollin the quays

Watching the boats on the Seine

Come back again

Where is that girl I met

That girl that made me get those

Paris blues and wonder?

Why did I have to roam?

I was so much at home

Ev’ry lovely evening

In a cozy café

Sipping champagne

Along the main boulevards

She was so fine

Just like the wine

Now ev’ry day is black

Please, someone, send her back

So I can lose those Paris blues
