UNDER PARIS SKIES (SOUS LE CIEL DE PARIS) Title song from the film "Sous le ciel de Paris" (1950) (Music: Hubert Giraud / Lyrics: Jean Drejac) (English Lyrics: Kim Gannon)
Stranger beware, There's love in the air Under Paris skies; Try to be smart, Don't let your heart Catch on fire! Love becomes king The moment it's Spring Under Paris skies; Lonely hearts meet Somewhere on the street Of desire.
Parisian love can bloom High in a skylight room, Or in a gay cafe Where hundreds of people can see!
I wasn't smart And I lost my heart Under Paris skies; Don't ever be A heartbroken stranger like me!
Oh, I fell in love, Yes I was a fool, For Paris can be So beautifully cruel; Paris is just a gay coquette Who wants to love and then forget. Stranger beware! There's love in the air!
Just look and see What happened to me Under Paris skies; Watch what you do, Same thing can happen to you! Watch what you do, The same thing can happen to you!
