It was the look in your eyes
When you put your hand in mine
And the way you held me tight
On this fine June wedding day
How we clung close together
On this our Paris honeymoon
Close to Parc de Luxembourg
Hotel a short walk away
Used the Metro all the time
To find the Rue de Rivoli
And the Musee de Louvre
Rode that train everyday
Went up the Eiffel Tower
Sailed a cruise boat down the Seine
Fell in love with Montmartre
Walked along the Quai d'Orsay
Shopping Galleries Lafayette
What a delight that was too
My poor legs were younger then
When we also shopped Bon Marche
But those days are now long gone
For I live now all alone
But what memories I hold
Of our June wedding day

Yes, my wife Maureen and I spent our honeymoon in Paris in 1957
I love this. It wasn't a honeymoon, but my 60th birthday when Paris left her mark on me. Still, you took me down one of the best memory lanes.
