about

This version, for some reason that totally escapes me, misses the final verse, which actually offers a clue to the title (referencing 'Casablanca' of course). When and if I'm able to re-record it, I'll also cut down on the instrumental passages between verses.

I know we never will have Paris
No more foggy days in London Town
Now I wonder if you ever wonder
If going up was worth the coming down x2

lyrics

I know that this is going nowhere
But a honeymoon in Heartbreak Hotel
Yet it seems that all I've done is think about you
For longer years than I have words to tell x2

Sometimes I catch myself still hoping
Just once more to see you smile
In spite of all the harsh words passed between us
And all these long and weary miles x2

Perhaps you're on your own tonight
Somewhere out there in the rain
Caught between the raindrops, still hoping
You'll never be this sad again x2

Again and again along the highway
We kissed at the turning of the road
Till somewhere I forgot to say goodbye
Down some sleepy byway on my own x2

I know we never will have Paris
No more foggy days in London Town
Now I wonder if you ever wonder
If going up was worth the coming down x2
