Parisian Kisses

A couple of friends are getting married this October. They got engaged in Paris, which inspired this song...

He hid the box behind his hotel night stand while he hit the shower
First time it was out of his sight in about 8 hours
Since he boarded the plane with his lady last night
Heading straight for the City of Lights

To see what her answer would be, he’d practiced for weeks
Had all the perfect words, just needed the nerve to speak
But he must have known, it’s the surest thing
She’d say yes, with our without a ring

     CHORUS
      Some things go on for years and years
      Decades and even eons, I hear
      But nothing lasts as long as Parisian kisses and love, love
      Nothing lasts as long as Parisian kisses and love

They walked along the avenue and craned their necks at the Eiffel Tower
And they both knew this wasn’t even their finest hour
He got down on one knee and the future was clear
When she smiled from ear to ear

      CHORUS
      Some things go on for years and years
      Decades and even eons, I hear
      But nothing lasts as long as Parisian kisses and love
      No
      Some things go on for years and years
      Decades and even eons, I hear
      But nothing lasts as long as Parisian kisses and love, love
      Nothing lasts as long as Parisian kisses
      Nothing as long as Parisian kisses
      Nothing lasts as long as Parisian kisses and love
