Lyrics
Rise and shine sleepyhead
Surrender sleep, your siren song
Morning sunlight warming up a city's heart
Open the curtain so our dreaming can begin again
Take it in
Paris skies
Luscious café, steamy start
Take my hand to walk the hundred steps up to Montmartre
Stop and window shop, we need to take our time
Local characters, they drink their wine and stand to give a toast and sing a lover's lament
Love's the reason we're together
May we never grow apart
In Notre Dame we light a candle in the dark
For the ones who we've lost
For life in our veins
Moments like these in the City of Light
Wild Ranunculus in Fall
Dot the cobblestones at Père Lachaise
Yellow flowers spread their cheer amongst the tombs and crypts
Oscar Wilde, your fans come by to plant a lipstick kiss
In thanks for you living free
Under Paris skies
Ooh, we're the people in the paintings
We're the lovers in the park
In Notre Dame we light a candle in the dark
For the ones who we've lost
For life in our veins
Moments like these in the City of Light
Every journey has an end but every ending has a start
Surely someday we'll be back to see these sights
At least please our memories can catch a breeze
And fly us through the twilight to
Paris skies
