Paris Nights / New York Mornings

  • Breakfast at Mickey's, make-up still on
    Elbows on the greasy table cloth
    One more coffee and one last cigarette

    Smiling at the rain cause you hold me close
    My best dress on underneath this old coat
    Walking down Blecker no one is awake yet

    Still, seven hours
    Nothing but clouds
    It's enough to make your heart sigh
    We should try
    So pick me up and take me out

    Ooh we crash into love-filled nights
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    Ooh we race till we're out of time
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    And now that you've taken me up so high
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    Don't let me down
    Don't let me down

    I could see the lights from the restaurant
    I couldn't quite perfect that nonchalance
    Paris and champagne with one brown sugar cube

    And we danced while the band played â??She's not thereâ??
    Kissed me in the rain by the Rue Voltaire
    It's a perfectly good way to ruin those silk shoes

    Still, seven hours
    Nothing but clouds
    It's enough to make your heart sigh
    We should try
    For each other and for the lovers

    Ooh we crash into love-filled nights
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    Ooh we race till we're out of time
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    And now that you've taken me up so high
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    Don't let me down
    Don't let me down

    You change and you grow
    But we were young
    We were young and we didn't know
    We didn't know

    Ooh we crash into love-filled nights
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    Ooh we race till we're out of time
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    And now that you've taken me up so high
    (Paris nights and New York mornings)
    Don't let me down
    Don't let me down Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
