She said of course I used to honey, a lot when I was your age But I hadn't thought about it much until right now She remembered the promise, that someday she's celebrate Her birthday in the St. Germain des Pres She sees how quickly life can pass by, how easily a dream dies You can't just live your life for someone else So she boards the plane for Paris, she thinks she'll need a new dress As she keeps that birthday promise to herself Oh she thought she'd do it sooner, seems so important to her But life moves on when you're off making plans But every now and then it happens, a chance appears for you to grab it That's why this time she just couldn't let it pass Cause she made herself a promise that someday she'd celebrate Her birthday in the St. Germain des Pres And later take a walk beside the Seine Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Hands Up, Alt Land Is 512, And I Hear You Call, Another Piece Of Cake, Another Piece Of Cake 348, Could It Be So, For All Mankind 617, Get Rid Of Your Fears, Get Rid Of Your Fears 256, IM The King IM The Sun, Im The King Im The Sun 456, Love Tonight, Mushrooms, On My Own, Shine On Me, Stuldt H?jt 859, Take You To Sweet Harmony, Take You To Sweet Harmony 324, The Party Goes On 425, The Real Thing 1802, Time 707, Two Of A Kind, Used To Feel Before, Waste Of Time, We Cannot Move, Welcome To The Mirrorland, Welcome To The Mirrorland 346, When Something Old Dies, When Something Old Dies 121, With My Mind, You, Call Of The West, Do It Again, Factory, Far Side of Crazy, Hands Of Love, Look At Their Way, Lost Weekend, Mexican Radio, Spy World, They Dont Want Me, Tomorrow, In The Misty Moonlight, One Has My Name (the Other Has My Heart), There She Goes, How The Time Flies, If You Leave Me Tonight Ill Cry, In The Misty Moonlight, Shutters And Boards, There She Goes, Other Walker Jerry Jeff song Lyrics Down In Texas Lyrics Hill Country Rain Lyrics Jaded Lover Lyrics Little Bird Lyrics Pick Up Truck Song Lyrics Pissin In The Wind Lyrics Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother Lyrics Bad News Lyrics Boogie Mama Lyrics Comfort and Crazy Lyrics Cross the Borderline Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Walker Scott Lyrics Walker Tamara Lyrics Walking Concert Lyrics Wall Kingston Lyrics Wall Of Voodoo Lyrics Wallace Jerry Lyrics Wallace Sippi Lyrics Wallen Lyrics Waller Fats Lyrics Wallflowers Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
