Kurt Elling - Parisian Heartbreak lyrics

[Verse 1] Love makes a drifting dream of moonlight Love can make a distant song from starlight Love inspires poetry most every night You love – and then love delights. [Verse 2] But time has a way of dashing moonlight dreams And tides create the waves that drown the starlight beams And poetry can never be reality At least that's what seems to me to be [Refrain] For I dreamed of you falling into love, with me And I wrote a song and sang to you so tenderly But nothing in my poems wove into reality Instead you just laughed at me. [Post-refrain] So now I trust nothing of what love eyes see Of stars or of poetry That's the way it has to be now that love has laughed at me [Refrain] I dreamed of you falling into love, with me And I sang my song to you, ever so tenderly But nothing in my poems wove into reality Instead you just laughed at me. [Outro] So time has a way of dashing moonlight dreams And tides create the waves that drown the starlight beams So now I trust nothing of what love eyes see Of stars or of poetry That's the way it has to be now that love has laughed at me Now that love is over for me
