Not Exactly Paris Lyrics

'VE BEEN COURTED AND ESCORTED BY SO MANY MEN
AS FOR FEAR OF COLD REJECTION I'VE HAD NONE
THERE WERE AVANT GARDE COMPOSERS
EVEN DES AND DEM AND DOZERS
IT WAS FUN
BUT AMONG THE MANY FACES
AND THE WHISKEY BREATH EMBRACES
THERE WAS ONE
IT WAS NOT EXACTLY PARIS
IT WAS NOT EXACTLY SPRING
BUT IT WAS BOUJOULAIS AND FLOWERS
DOUBLE BEDS AND DOUBLE SHOWERS
AND THE PASSION THAT THOSE KISSES USED TO BRING
IT WAS NOT EXACTLY PARIS
I WAS NOT EXACTLY YOUNG
BUT ON A QUIET NIGHT
WITH THE DOOR LOCKED TIGHT
AND THE SILENCE WEIGHS A TON
OF ALL THE LOVES IN MY LIFE
I REMEMBER ONE
IT WAS NOT EXACTLY MARRIAGE
IT DIDN'T HAVE THE LONGEST RUN
BUT IN MY HEART OF HEARTS
WHEN THE TWILIGHT STARTS
AND THE LONG LONG DAY HAS DONE
OF ALL THE LOVES IN MY LIFE
I REMEMBER ONE

'VE BEEN COURTED AND ESCORTED BY SO MANY MEN
AS FOR FEAR OF COLD REJECTION I'VE HAD NONE
THERE WERE AVANT GARDE COMPOSERS
EVEN DES AND DEM AND DOZERS
IT WAS FUN
BUT AMONG THE MANY FACES
AND THE WHISKEY BREATH EMBRACES
THERE WAS ONE
IT WAS NOT EXACTLY PARIS
IT WAS NOT EXACTLY SPRING
BUT IT WAS BOUJOULAIS AND FLOWERS
DOUBLE BEDS AND DOUBLE SHOWERS
AND THE PASSION THAT THOSE KISSES USED TO BRING
IT WAS NOT EXACTLY PARIS
I WAS NOT EXACTLY YOUNG
BUT ON A QUIET NIGHT
WITH THE DOOR LOCKED TIGHT
AND THE SILENCE WEIGHS A TON
OF ALL THE LOVES IN MY LIFE
I REMEMBER ONE
IT WAS NOT EXACTLY MARRIAGE
IT DIDN'T HAVE THE LONGEST RUN
BUT IN MY HEART OF HEARTS
WHEN THE TWILIGHT STARTS
AND THE LONG LONG DAY HAS DONE
OF ALL THE LOVES IN MY LIFE
I REMEMBER ONE
