Lyrics:
Victor dreamed of America With excitement like politics And big time crime And shopping malls and big band halls So much in store For his immigrant mind His land devastated by war Victor went searching for more In America Charlie fell in love in the city of lights The sidewalks, wino's, fog-filled air And ancient museums For the plight that had freed them In '44 charlie fought La Grande Guerre Never forgetting his past Charlie had returned at last to gay Paris Oh the eyes of generations The waiting arms of freedom The distant ache of memories The home of a foreigner And the bones of a lifetime Ellis island, she shined like a jewel With bright lights of promise And American pride A Frenchman's passion Victor would ration Would overcome the worlds About to collide Wide-eyed and puffing his chest Victor braced himself for the best In America Paris had never meant so much more The artistes our lady the river Seine Charlie remembered times Much more tender Now all but the girl In this city remained Placing a rose by their favorite bench Where once they had promised they never Would forget the summertime Victor dreamed of America
