Lyrics

(Cm)What do you meet down a (Bb7)crooked little (Eb)street in (Fm6)Paris?

(G7)Vendors who sell pretty flowers that tell of (Cm)spring.

Once in a while you may (Bb7)meet a certain (Eb)smile in (Gm)Paris,

(Gm6)so (Am7)excitingly (D7)gay, that it (Fm6)seems (G7)to say,

(Cm)"Cherie, fall in (Fdim7)love with (C7)me."

A certain (Gm7)smile,

a (C9)certain (F)face,

can lead an (Gm)unsuspecting (C9)heart on a (C7)merry (F)chase.

(F6)A fleeting (Em7)glance (A7)can (G)say (A7)so (Dm)many lovely (G9)things.

(C)Suddenly you (Dm7)know why (G7)Paris (Gm7)sings.

(C7)You love a (Gm7)while,

and (C9)when love (F)goes,

you try to (Gm)hide the tears (C9)inside with a (C7)cheerful (F)pose.

(F7)But (Eb)in (F7)the (A)hush (Bb)of night (D7)exactly like a (Gm7)bittersweet (Bbm6)refrain,

(Aaug)comes (Bbm6)that (F)certain (Dm)smile to (Gm7)haunt your (C9)heart (F)again.

A certain (Gm7)smile,

a (C9)certain (F)face,

can lead an (Gm)unsuspecting (C9)heart on a (C7)merry (F)chase.

(F6)A fleeting (Em7)glance (A7)can (G)say (A7)so (Dm)many lovely (G9)things.

(C)Suddenly you (Dm7)know why (G7)my heart (Gm7)sings.

(C7)You love a (Gm7)while,

and (C9)when love (F)goes,

you try to (Gm)hide the tears (C9)inside with a (C7)cheerful (F)pose.

(F7)But (Eb)in (F7)the (A)hush (Bb)of night (D7)exactly like a (Gm7)bittersweet (Bbm6)refrain,

(Aaug)comes (Bbm6)that (F)certain (Dm)smile to (Gm7)haunt your (C9)heart (F)again.

A certain gain.
