If I woke up in Paris again,Things...would be different,Before the bakery’s aroma wake my senses up,I’d rather be wrapped up in your smell.If I woke up in Paris again,It’d be nice, a little of your sugar and a lot of my spice,Bébé, can we wake up together?Before the Sun can say “bonjour”,A quick run to [...]
Listen to the Spoken Word version of this poem You know how poetry just comes to you?No! I didn’t wake up to write about love,No! I don’t want to write about men nor the one who broke my heart,No!
