UNDER THE PARIS LIGHTS

Intro

Verse 1

We met one summer's day
In a place so very far away
You asked my name
And if I'd stay
All I had to do was look in your eyes to see
How much you wanted me.

Verse II

The streets were paved in gold
As we walked along the cobble stones
As if we're underneath a spell
While hearing sounds of distant bells
The scent of perfume
The lavender bloomed

Beneath the magic of night
Under The Paris Lights

Chorus

We slept till noon
As the summer breeze blew
Fading to night
While you held me so tight

We spoke of why
This meant so much
Soon it will be a distant memory
While parting by the sea

II

We sipped some wine
We laughed and cried
On a misty night in June
'neath the sky lit by the moon

Paris does things to you
That you never would do
When summer ends
We'll say adieu

Bridge

Maybe we'll meet again
And walk along the river hand and hand
Two strangers on a street
May have another chance to meet

And I will know your face
Among the crowds that pass through
Day after day
And recall all of the nights

Under The Paris Lights

Coda:

Strangers no more
It's you I adore (C'est tu J'adore)
Under The Paris Lights once more

Under Paris Lights

End
