 Send "Paris" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Ezra was an old man. He lived by the sea.
Watching himself getting older, with no family.
Cassie was a pretty one, a bar tender by trade.
She had a daughter with big green eyes. She
called her Jade.
They met each other in the park while Jade was on
a swing.
On a bench underneath a tree, they talked about
everything.
And she said, "Sometimes I get so scared, and I
don't know why."
She reached for the old man's hand and she began
to cry.
And he said,
"It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime.
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime.
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes."
The he said, "I was gonna be a painter, gonna
paint my masterpiece.
I spent my whole life dreamin'. Now they're my
only memories.
And I was gonna live in Paris, France. Now my
body's fallin' apart.
I could be a Pable Picasso if delusion were an
art."
And she said, "That sounds lovely. Paris, France.
Just sayin' those words kinda makes me wanna
dance.
Do you wanna dance?"
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime.
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime.
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
They'd meet there every Sunday in the park at
noon.
Ezra would get there early to buy Jade a red
balloon.
And Cassie'd tell him all about her awful luck
with men.
She'd say, "Wish I could meet a guy like you but
they'll never make you
again."
And Jade would fall asleep in Ezra's lap there in
the park
while Cassie's still be talkin' a long time after
dark.
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime.
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime.
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
One Sunday afternoon, no Ezra, no red balloon.
Just a friend of his who said, "Ezra passed away
and he wanted me to bring this letter to you
today."
Well, it was two tickets to Paris.
And a note that read, "Thank you for the dance.
My dearest Cassie, you were my Paris, France."
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime.
Everybody gets a little bit lonely sometimes.
