We met in Nashville, one night in the Bluebird cafe
I’d just sung a love song – one that I had written that day
When I saw those big brown eyes I knew I didn’t have a prayer
He said “Are you new in town? Hey can I take you anywhere?”
I said “You could take me to Paris” - we could watch the sunset there
Or take me on a Mississippi riverboat with the wind blowing in my hair
Or you could drive me in a red Mustang all the way from Atlanta to L.A.
Just take me in your arms – and love me.
We spent the next few weeks doing all the things that lovers do
We talked about forever, and making all our dreams come true
Then killing me not so softly he seemed to slip away
But more than every now and then I smile and think about that day
When he took me to Paris and we watched the sunset there
He took me on a Mississippi riverboat with the wind blowing in my hair
Then he drove me me in a red Mustang all the way from Atlanta to L.A.
He took me in his arms – and loved me.
“Oh take me to Paris” - we could watch the sunset there
Or take me on a Mississippi riverboat with the wind blowing in my hair
You could drive me in a red Mustang all the way from Atlanta to L.A.
Just take me in your arms – and love me.
Just take me in your arms – and love me.”
