Down in Bowery They lose their ballads and their lipped-mouths in the night And stumbling through the street, they say "Sir, do you got a light? And if you do then you're my friend And if you don't then you're my foe And if you are a deity of any sort then please don't go"
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas
Down in Lexington they walk in new shoes stuck to aging feet And close their eyes and open And not recognize the aging street And think about the things were right When they were young and veins were tight And if you are the ghost of Christmas past Then won't you stay the night?
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ooh ooh ooh Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas
Down in Bronxy Bronx The kids go sledding down snow covered slopes And frozen noses, frozen toes The frozen city starts to glow And yes, they know that it will pass And yes they know New York will thaw But if you're a friend of any sort Then play along and catch a cold
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ooh ooh ooh Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas
I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain I love, I love, I love in the rain I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain And I Love I love I love in the rain I love, I love, I love in the rain
Down in Paris they walk fast That is unless they're walking slow And in cafes they look away That is unless they look right in And in the gardens I get lost That is unless I'm getting found And if you are the ghost of New York City Then won't you stick around?
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ooh ooh ooh Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah Ne me quitte pas, mon cher Ne me quitte pas
I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain I love, I love, I love in the rain I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain I love, I love, I love in the rain And I love, I love, I love in the rain...
And I love, I love, I love, in the rain I love, I love In the rain, in the rain Oh I love in the rain In the rain, in the rain
Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas
