lyrics

By Bill White

she had the beauty
and you had the guts
and i had the music
that united us

those were good days
before the water turned sour
when Paris was free
and the world was still ours

we will always have Paris
you two and we three
although Paris is burning
and its just you and me

i remember the night
we left on the train
alone without beauty
and your love was in vain

in Casablanca
we two have been safe
in the sanctuary
of your cafe

we will always have Paris
you two and we three
although Paris is burning
and its just you and me

but danger is a lady
when beauty returns
it is not only Paris
but the world that will burn

if petty emotion
and love's inner greed
is stronger than the courage
through which mankind is freed

we will always have Paris
you two and we three
although Paris is burning
and its just you and me

this life was one more stumble
in the battle for love and glory
but in the next life
rick and ilsa are gonna get it right
