As happy as we could ever be

Oh, to be young and fragile again!
I was once a handsome man
You a lassie of twenty-three
We were romance incarnate
As happy as we could ever be

In the city of beautiful ladies and men
I was your most devoted fan
You meant the world to me
We embraced our passion was great
As happy as we could ever be

I would often wonder when
Our dreams would match a plan
We'd make love under a tree
I guess to meet was just our fate
As happy as we could ever be

I would kiss you and then
melt into your hands
It was a love that one could see
A love that anyone could relate
In the city of lights we were as happy as we could ever be
