I could count the hours since you said
 Goodbye
Or I could linger in the memory of your kiss
I could find another, give it one more try
But she would seem like nothing after this...

		By now you're somewhere over Paris
		Sailing on a journey that's never through
		And me I'm here in the heartland
		   (in the heartland)
		Trying hard and wondering why (why)
		You're over Paris, but I'm not over you

And every time you go away, every time you're
  Gone
I wonder darling what I'm gonna do
Feel like a singer without a song
Without your saving grace that pulls me
  Through...

		By now you're somewhere over Paris
		Sailing on a journey that's never through
		And me I'm here in the heartland
		   (in the heartland)
		Trying hard and wondering why (why)
		You're over Paris, but I'm not over you

	And it's time like these that try men's souls
	It's times like these you bleed
	Times like these you don't need to be told
	  What it is that you really need
	And tonight, well I found the answer
	As I watched you walk away
	Was there something I could have said or done
	Something to make you stay...

So set a course to somewhere and sail on through
But just remember, only your heart can set you
  Free
And maybe you've forgotten
  Or really never knew
That everything that touches you touches me...

		By now you're somewhere over Paris
		Sailing on a journey that's never through
		And me I'm here in the heartland
		   (in the heartland)
		Trying hard and wondering why (why)
		You're over Paris, but I'm not over you
		You're over Paris, but I'm not over you
		You're over Paris, but I'm not over you

		Somewhere over Paris
		Somewhere over Paris
