I was strolling down the avenue, heart wide open to the unknown
_____
I felt like saying hello to anybody
_____
Anybody, and it was you, I told you just anything
_____
All it took was talking to you to win you over
_____
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
_____
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
_____
You told me "I've got a date in a basement with some crazies
_____
Who live with a guitar in hand, from evening till morning"
_____
So I went with you, we sang, we danced
_____
And we didn't even think about kissing
_____
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
_____
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
_____
Last night two strangers and this morning on the avenue
_____
Two lovers all dizzy from the long night
_____
And from the Étoile to the Concorde, an orchestra with a thousand strings
_____
All the birds at break of day sing love
_____
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
_____
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
_____
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
_____
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
_____
In the sun, in the rain, at noon or at midnight
_____
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
_____
In the sun, in the rain, or at midnight
_____
There's everything you want on the Champs-Elysées
