We said goodbye one last time at the Louvre
Our long happy Summer was through
Just lovers in Paris as common as doves

But I still think of you, Samba Blue

Just how long has it been?

I still remember when
We strolled the Champs Elysees
Sharing a warm baguette

Coffee with anisette
We kissed in the Metro
In love very retro


I've visited Paris so many times since
And it always reminds me of you

And happily now all these many years hence
You are still by my side, Samba Blue


To Astrud Gilberto tunes
We made love in the afternoon
Then strolled down the Champs Elysees

Sharing a warm baguette
Coffee with anisette
We kissed in the Metro

In love very retro

We're together again, by the Seine, Samba Blue

On the grand avenues, me and you, Samba Blue
