The song is featured on Moore's album Back on the Streets and features a vocal from Thin Lizzy frontman, Phil Lynott, who co-wrote the song with Moore. Lynott also played bass guitar on the track, alongside Thin Lizzy drummer Brian Downey, thus reuniting the short-lived 1974 Thin Lizzy line-up which had recorded "Still in Love with You" and the single "Little Darling". The melody of "Parisienne Walkways" is based on the jazz standard "Blue Bossa" by Kenny Dorham. It became Gary Moore's signature song.
Lyrics
I'll remember Paris in the fall tonight
The Champs Elysees
St. Michelle Old Beaujolais
And I'll recall that you were mine
In those Parisian days
Looking back at those photographs
Those summer days
Spend outside corner cafe's
Oh, I could write two paragraphs
About my old Parisian days
Songwriters: Gary (gb Moore / Phil Lynott
