Lyrics
She said she'd come, she didn't
Expressing disappointment that someone promised to come but did not.
I'm the one in love, she isn't
The speaker is in love, but the other person is not reciprocating the same feelings.
There's no girl standing there
There is no actual girl present in the situation being described.
And there's no one who cares
Emphasizing the lack of concern or attention from others.
And the trees are so bare
Describing a desolate or lonely atmosphere, possibly reflecting the speaker's emotions.
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine
Setting the scene on Boulevard de la Madeleine, suggesting a specific location in Paris.
It's a sad day in Paris
Highlighting a sad day in Paris, indicating a negative emotional experience.
With no girl by my side
The speaker is alone without a companion in the romantic city.
Got to feeling so badly
Expressing a strong negative emotional state.
Like a part of me died it would have been
Comparing the emotional pain to a part of the speaker's self dying.
So good to see her i never thought
Expressing a desire to see the person, suggesting a longing for their presence.
She wouldn't be there
A realization that the expected person is not present as anticipated.
There's no girl standing there
Reiterating the absence of the expected person.
And there's no one who cares

And the trees are so bare
Repeating the imagery of desolation or emptiness.
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine

Oh, I wish I knew her better
Expressing a wish to know the absent person better.
It's not easy to forget her
Acknowledging the difficulty of forgetting the person.
There's no girl standing there
