lyrics

Once upon a time
In Montréal
The only place
I can recall
Albeit in
A bleary haze
That's what it's
These final days
The story goes
Something like this:
We must pursue
Domestic bliss
The time is now
The place is here
I'll learn some French
Avec plaisir
I'll sacrifice
What little I've
My saxophone
And all that jive
I'll get a job
And work as hard
As God allows me to

I'll do my very
Best to hide
The bitterness
It will subside
It may take years
Or decades
I never got used
To the freezing nights
But life with you
Was paradise
With no regret
I'll say good night
From Montréal
