"Paris (Mon Arbre)" - Track 6 of 15 from 'Through European Windows,' which was released in 1967.
Lyrics:
The clouds that hang above the Seine
The crowds that crowd La Madeleine
I wish that I were home again in Paris
Don't you know, can't you see
Mon amour, mon ami
That the whole world to me is Paris
And if I could but hear again
The Sunday bells of Notre Dame
I'd dance the length of St. Germain in Paris
I'm as sad as can be
Mon amour, mon ami
And I wish I could be in Paris
The traffic jams at the Étoile
The flicks, the fights down in Pigalle
The smell of every flower stall in Paris
I'm away and alone
I'd give all that I own
To be walking back home in Paris
Along the bright Champs-Élysées
Or at the Café de La Paix
When I get home I'll never stray from Paris
Don't you know, can't you see
Mon amour, mon ami
That the whole world to me is Paris
