Paper Moon
(B. Rose-E. Y. Harburg-H. Arlen)
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
And it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree (oh,yeah)
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in the penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be (I know)
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Writers: Rose/Harburg/Arlen
I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
Comes a time when you get turned around, and
Life itself just wears you out, but
You keep getting ready for the big parade
Ah you shine your shoes and you fake a smile
Salute the players with that famous style, cause
Keepin up has kept you in chains
I was thinking that if you know a way out then I'd like to go with you
And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon
They just dont know anything at all
They just dont know anything at all
Youll fight traffic jams and big TVs, and
Hipsters trapped in their own irony, but
Youll finally think about settling down
Oh you quit your job and you sell your car
Youll burn your clothes and pray to the stars, cause
You swore to God that youd never end up this way
I was thinking that if you know a way out then I'd like to go with you
And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon
They just dont know anything at all
They just dont know anything at all
At all
At all
At all
At all
Comes a time when you get turned around, and
Life itself just wears you out, but
You say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hangin' over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
[scats]
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
Just wouldn't be a make believe
[scats]
If you believed in me
I go walking under a paper moon
All the birds are singing
Singing you a pretty tune
All the constellations and all the stars above
They all start to whistling
They start singing along
The world is not a monster
And I'm not scared at all
Floating through your heavens
The world is in my arms
Oh, rainy day
Don't follow me
? Cause I'm her baby doll
And she's my cup of tea
I go walking under a paper moon
And my eyes are made of crystals
Plastic flowers bloom
All the leaves are changing
And the skies are blue
All the seasons of distraction
Can't take the smile god's given you
The world is but a monster
And I'm not scared at all
I'm floating through the heavens
The world is in my arms
Oh, rainy day
Don't follow me
? Cause I'm her baby doll
She's my cup of tea
Love takes care of love
it is only a paper moon
hanging over a cardboard sea
but it wouldn't be make-believe
if you believed in me
it is only a canvas sky
sailing over a muslin tree
but it wouldn't be make-believe
if you believed in me
without your love
it's a honkey tonk parade
without your love
it's a melody played on a penny arcade
it's a barnum and bailey world
just as phoney as it can be
but it wouldn't be make-believe
Close your eyes
Make a wish
Think of everything you wanted
Take your time
Don't you know
All your wishes might come true
Take my hand
Understand
What I want you to believe in
Don't you fear
Don't you worry
I am here and I will carry you through the night
And if you wanna come with me
We'll cross the widest ocean
We will cross the widest sea
And we will stay together
And we will live forever
Do you know
Where to go
Where to hide away
When everything goes wrong
I'll be strong
I will help you carry on
Close the doors
Come to me
Come to where I always wanted you to be
Here with me
You will see the world is smiling when it's free
And if you wanna take my hand …
The Clouds Are Red
The Sky Is Black
Let's Dive Into the Night Before It's Over
Just Give Me One More Cigarette
And If You Want It Now
We'll Stop the Time
And Turning On a Roundabout
In a Confusing Scream and Shout
The Lights Are Flickering You Say
Did You Ever Talk to Lucy in the Sky
Did You Ever Try to Fly
Take a Look At the World Inside Her Eyes
Did You Ever Talk to Lucy in the Sky
Did You Ever Get So High
Take a Look At the World Inside Her Eyes
The Grass Is High and So Are We
We Hide Away Until the Dream Is Over
Just Open Up Your Eyes; You'll See
A Rainbow Rising All Across the Sky
And If You Take Me By the Hand
If You Show Me Our Land
We Could Be Happy For a Day
Did You Ever Talk to Lucy in the Sky ...
She Will Drive in Your Mind
A Train Without a Destination
Without a Station Anyway
And If It Ever Gets You Down
The World Is Turning Round and Round and Round
It's Just Like Being Lost and Never Found
And If You Take Me By the Hand
And If You Show Me Our Land
We Could Be Happy For a Day
Did You Ever Talk to Lucy in the Sky ...
If you wanna be free
Start to be just you
If you wanna beloved
Start to love you too
If you wanna be happy
Start to make it come true
If you wanna be rich
Give away to the poor
[REFRAIN]
If you wanna believe
Then start believing in you
If you wanna succeed
Then start succeeding for you
If you having a dream
Then start to make it to come true
No, there isn't a problem
Just solutions for you
There is nothing but trouble
You say it's true
I believe it is double
I know you do
There is a light in the darkness
You see it, too
It is shining upon us
On me and you
[REFRAIN]
There is nothing to worry
You don't have to hurry
You'll make it! You'll take it!
Don't have to forsake it
A new day is dawning
And peace will becoming
All over the planet
We soon will understand it
Dreaming of the winter sun
As I lie in bed I turn my head
And try to get away from the summer
Feeling like a thief on the run
All these people all around me
Only think about their money,
Only think about a way to get in
Someone else's bed and have fun there
Don't you wake me up tonight
Don't you wake me up tomorrow
Is it wrong or is it right?
I wanna sleep away my sorrow
Dreaming of the autumn rain
Walking through the woods,
If I could I would be sleeping until then
People, happy as can be,
All around me and they found me
And they try to get me dancing on the
Streets and they're romancing,
Yes I have to get away or I kill them!
Don't you wake me up tonight
Don't you wake me up tomorrow
You got arms to hold me tight
You got lips to ease my sorrow
Don't you know it feels allright
Lying here with you together
And if I could you know I might
Stay in bed and sleep forever
Do you think it's a crime
to stay in bed all the time?
I know what they say about me
But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!
There are times I can't stand this world anymore
Like a prisoner I watch the birds fly
There are times I can feel I could reach out for more
Then I lay in the grass and I stare at the sky
If I could fly away over the fields
I wouldn't stay in this place any longer
And if I could fly away over the sea
In my songs I would write how it is to be free
Where the wind blows forever
I'd try to go
Where nothing else matters anymore
that's where I belong
To the places unknown
There is my home
When I open my eyes the dream is gone
I will never be able to fly
Then I raise my head to the place that's my home
And I lay on the ground and I start to cry
(refrain solo)
And then again I can see
All this beauty around
I will stay in this world
With my feet on the ground
Like the other ones (everybody else) and I'll never be
don't wanna talk about the way we used to be
You know these days are gone
I don't wanna talk about the sins you did to me
Who's right and who is wrong
Just want to tell you it's alright the way it is
It will never be the same
The way we talk the way we touch the way we kiss
The way we play our game
Don't try to change the rules
If it was meant to be we'd stay together
The sun will rise again and chase all your fears
All your fears
I don't wanna know the reasons you had to go
Someday we'll meet again
I don't wanna miss you when the day is done you know
You'll always be a friend
Just want to know if it's alright the way it is
Will it ever be the same
The way we talk the way we touch the way we kiss
The way we play our game
Don't try to change the rules ...
I don't talk about the way ...
Come see how the times are changing
The world keeps turning round
Brother, I am freezing in the night
Why are all these people running by?
Where is a shelter from the storm?
Hold me close, hold me closer, keep me warm
Brother, will we make it through the night?
What are all these noises? I am frightened
Where is a shelter from the storm?
I am hungry, I am tired, I am torn
Say brother, where do we go?
Say brother, what do you know?
Say brother, will you stand by me?
Say brother, why do we run?
Who´s that man, with the gun?
Hey brother, don´t go away
What are all these colours in the sky?
Why are you whispering, why do we hide?
Is this our shelter from the storm?
Hold me close, hold me closer, keep me warm
Why is all this blood on my hands?
Brother, tell me why you´re crying, stop pretending
Don´t say you´ll leave me all alone
Stay with me. I am lost here on my own
Hey brother, don´t go away
Hey brother, I beg you to stay
Please brother, can´t you say one word?
Hey brother, open your eyes
Why are your hands, cold as ice?
It's time to go home now
The party is over
And we won't see you
For a long long time
We stay there alone now
It's getting colder
They turn the lights off
We open a bottle of wine
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say how much
We really love you
It's time to say I won't cry
Cause someday we'll meet again
It's time to go home now
The party's over
We'd like to thank you
We had a wonderful time
Bright days are gone now
We have grown older
The night is colder
Our star still shines
These new friends of yours
Speak of ashes and dust
Where are they taking us?
Feels like the end but we're just beginning
These new friends of yours
Won't show their faces to me
They stand in shadows
But I can see they're always near
And I've no time for them
Can we leave them behind?
We'll lose them in the sunshine
Standing right here
Saying the nicest things
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen?
These new friends of yours
Speak of ashes and dust
Where are they taking us?
Feels like the end but we're just beginning
And I've no time for them
Can we leave them behind?
We'll lose them in the sunshine
Standing right here
Saying the nicest things
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen? Listen
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
They teach you to dim
All the bright spots in your life
Steer into the dark and imagine
How bad it could be, could be
I'm standing right here
Saying the nicest things
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen?
I'm standing right here
Saying the nicest things
Why won't you listen?
I sit here for hours but I know he's coming
Waiting in that old and dirty cafe
Through the windows I see people running
Trying to catch their trains
I lay my paper on the dusty table
I try to read but I raise my head
Every time I see a train is coming
This is what I'd like to say
Take me to the place that I love
Take me to the place of my happiness
To the mountains above; the place I used to love
The day is over still the rain is falling
A cup of coffee to keep me awake
Should I stay; should I leave; should I go home now
Should I wait for another train?
I grab my things; I put my raincoat
This time I'll make it real
And getting into the train I whisper
I know you will ...
Take me to the place that I love ...
And as I stare out of the window
I can see me home town fading away
Goodbye my friends I have to find my freedom
I have to find my way
See see how he looks at the sky
See see how he watches the street
Lost in the night when the world is asleep
Free how he wants to be free
Isn't he a bit like you and me
The man at the window
Is dreaming
It seems that he had been forgotten
Noone knows where he is from
The man at the window is dreaming
Look look how he closes his eyes
Look look how he's trying to hide
Noone can see what he's feeling inside
Time is ticking away
Every day is just another day
The man at the window ...
Take my hand and you will see the world is smiling
Open your heart and you'll agree
Let the sunshine in believe me
You'll be want you wanted to be
To be
I see the flowers in their bloom,
I hear the morning breeze that´s calling
The sunlight´s filling up my room,
But there is sadness all around
I want to thank you for this day
But nothing lasts forever
I want to thank for your belief
I guess it´s over now
I see the ocean all around,
Can hear the waves that break the silence
Is this the end? Is this the sound
of what a new tomorrow brings?
I want to thank you for this day,
But nothing lasts forever
I want to cry and run away
To dry these endless tears
I want to thank you for the years
But nothing lasts forever
I guess it´s over now
Tell me how? Tell me how?
Forget the past, live for today
The silver moon will keep on shining
We´ll make it last, don´t go away
There is a future here for you
I want to thank you for your love
I wish it lasts forever
I want to thank for your belief
don´t let it go away
I want to thank you for today
I wish it lasts forever
Don´t let it go away
Not today
Tell me all about it
Does she hold you like I do?
Tell me all about it
Is her love as true as you?
I just had to know
I just had to be sure
Tell me all about it
Do you like the way she walks
Tell me all about it
Do you like the way she talks
I just had to know
I just had to let it go
Chorus
And while I'm sitting here I wonder
She might be holding you tight, now
I've tried to get over you and I ran there
But you, still are on my mind
Feelings are forgiven
What we do is causing pain
Love is our prison
Will it always stay the same?
I just had to know
I just had to be sure
Tell me a poem
could be the last time you stand beside me
could be the first time you see it through
now matter what comes I won’t ask you to write me
there’s only one thing I’ll ask from you
refrain
Tell me a poem write a love song just for me
I will miss you no longer
Tell me a story let me be the key
I will be I will be free
And so you are leaving love and happiness behind
Just turn around and say good-bye
What have I done for you to change your mind
Just turn around and I won’t cry
whatever happens don’t try to be true
I let you go if only you
Refrain
Wherever I go I just cant take this blues away
Cant get these words out of my head
The only cure for me is when you softly say
These words again I won`t be sad
Refrain
Tell me a romance write a fairy tale for me
I will miss you no longer
Show me your heaven and baby you will see
I will be I will be free
Bottle of wine that hadn't been opened yet
We forgot about it while you were here
And a string of blinking lights
That can now be put away
And it's almost midnight here
We're all about to ring in
A new year, a new year
And I won't call you for another hour
One more hour
'Cause it's your time somewhere
It happens all over again
All over again, all over again
All over again
Just a couple more days 'til I fly away
From this lovely place, my short lived home
Saying goodbye is much easier now
Looking forward to a bitter cold
And it's almost time to land
The city's changed as much as a small city can
But change isn't why I'm coming back
It's your familiar life where it happens
All over again
All over again
Saying goodbye is so much easier now
Looking forward to a bitter cold
And it's almost time to land
The city's changed as much as a small city can
But change isn't why I'm coming back
It's your familiar life where it happens
All over again, all over again
All over again, all over again
All over again, all over again
All alone
I have tried to
Write a few words to you
All alone
I have tried to
Live with the pain
I wonder now
Are you alone
Is somebody with you
I wonder now
How can I go on
When you're not around
(chorus)
Night after night
I am waiting for someone to hold me
I'm calling you day after day after day
Can you hear me
Tell me now
How can you be strong
When somebody needs you
Tell me now
Where do I belong
'Can't find my way home
I ran away
Away from the storm
Turn around
See the hills
See the sky
See the sun
(chorus)
I can't believe
Is it true
This paperback story
I can't believe
Is it true
That you are gone
(chorus x2)
Night after night after night
Day after day after day
Night after night after night
There is nothing to say
About the things we´ve gone through
No more aces to play
I played that´s what you´ve done too
You have broken my heart, but that wasn't enough
You have torn it and cut it to pieces
[Refrain]
I can´t love anymore
Since you walked out that door
How I wish it wasn´t true
I´d be over you
Somewhere deep in my heart
I will make a new start
Then I´ll know it for sure
That I´m over you
I was here in your arms
I thought that I belonged there
But you made up your mind
I could not believe it
I could not believe it´s true
That you hurt me this way
You have broken my heart into pieces
2x [Refrain]
When I was just eight years old
My mother came to me and that´s what she told me:
"You´re somehow different, I don´t know why,
but if you want you´ll reach the sky"
I grew up, searching my place
but soon I felt I was from outer space
What I needed was a friend
but no one really could understand me
I whish I was an ordinary girl
living in an ordinary world
playing all the ordinary games people play
why can´t I be the same
I came to school, felt like emprisoned
the teachers taught me things I didn´t want to know
Felt like a fool, couldn´t find the reason
to learn ´bout algebra instead of Marilyn Monroe
When I went out and everyone was partyin´
was only me who felt like in the wrong place
I always wanted to be like everybody
with average thoughts and an average face
I whish I was an ordinary girl
living in an ordinary world
playing all the ordinary games people play
why can´t I be the same
I whish I was an ordinary girl
living in an ordinary world
playing all the ordinary games people play
Something happened yesterday, I thought I finally was ok,
I found a job and got a new appartement.
Parked my car in second street, they stole it while I had to meet
a friend who worked in the pölice department
It´s just like rain
On new years day
I´m up, I´ m down
I´m lost, I´m found
I leave, I stay
I´m on my way
It´s still the same
The same old game
I loose today
I´ m on my way
I was pretty close to heaven, fell in love on april seven
but on April eight he ran away
As I crossed the empty street, by lucky accident I´d meet a good old friend who came to town that day
We talked ´til late
He said „I´ll stay“
I´m up, I´m down…
Sometimes nothing´s going right
But things will turn out fine, be patient
I know time is on my side
Time to change your mind, alright
I got fired in the meantime, I have lost it all
Nothing seems to be just going right
On the other hand I´m free, got nothing left to lose
and nothing to worry about
It´s like the sun
For me alone
Walking along the sidewalk
Watching the children playing
I have seen
Smiling faces waiting for christmas day
Hiding behind a corner
A boy turned around to say:
"I have seen a thousand people crying on a christmas day"
While I tried to answer
The boy disappeared into the night
On my own; I was left there wondering
If he was right
And I began to think about it
Was it ever meant to be that way
"Love is the answer" said a voice in the crowd and I saw that boy run away
"Why don't you stay? Where did you hide?
Will I see you again?
Why don't you stay?"
And as I stood there alone
Staring into the night
I have seen a thousand people searching for the light
If you are lost and lonely
If you're alone today
Find that boy
And let him show you, the way
And he will care about you when the night is long
He will make you smile again and sing along
Let's join our hands and let us pray
No time to cry
I can tell by your eyes that it seems you cried forever
And all I can say is „I love you“
I can tell by your smile, now I´m here it´s getting better
I wish you could say what makes you feel blue
See the sunshine outside your window, and I know
The sorrow will fade away
It is no time to cry, so I ask you why do you cry
´bout yesterday
And you smile, though I see,
there is a sadness deep inside you
There´s something you hide, I don´t know why
If I could, I´ll help you be just as happy as you used to,
And free from the pain that makes you feel blue
See the sunshine...
And I know if I could make you believe again in you,
my friend
You would show the feelings you hide inside
and smile again
You came to say "Hello" and then
You came to say "You Worry, I did, too"
You came to say you're low, complained
That no one knows your story, but I do
I've been through this before, my friend
Can't you see it?
I left it all behind
I was blind
Now I can see
I was worried
Now I'm free
I was numb
Now I can feel
My eyes are wide open
The greatest love I have found is in me
You came to say "Goodbye" and then
You came to say you're leaving, don't you dare!
You came to make me cry, you said
"Don't ever stop believing, cause i care"
Learn to love yourself, my friend, believe me
You'll leave it all behind
I was blind
Now I can see
I was worried
Now I'm free
I was numb
Now I can feel
My eyes are wide open
The greatest love I have found is in me
Don't stop to believe
My eyes are wide open
I found it all in me
My eyes are wide open
My eyes are wide open
I found it all in me
I was blind
Now I can see
I was worried
Now I'm free
I was numb
Now I can feel
My eyes are wide open
The greatest love I have found is in me
In me
The greatest love is in me
In me
I was blind
Now I can see
In me
My eyes are wide open
The greatest love is in me
In me
The greatest love I have found is in me
In me
Now it seems the snow is melting
Can't you see the sun comes through
Spring isn't far away anymore
And the birds all around
Tell their story
Of places we don't know
How I wish I could follow
Now it seems the wind is changing
Chasing all the clouds away
And sitting alone in my little garden
I dream I could fly like a swallow
To places we don't know
Don't you ever want to follow
And I'd be where the days are longer
And I'd be where the nights aren't cold
Where the love in my heart is getting stronger
Before it's getting old
Now it seems the flowers are growing
Look around and you will see
Spring isn't far away anymore
And the birds all around
Tell their story
Of places we don't know
How I wish I could follow
Come with me I will show you my castle
Close the doors don't let anybody in
From the tower we will watching the people
We'll be dancing again
Down by the river you'll see
Is the place where I come from
Take my hand follow me
Over the hills you will see
Is the place where we belong
Believe me we'll be soon coming home
Down to the forest we run
We are picking up flowers that are growing around us
We lay in the grass and the sun
Is still keeping us warm
Believe me we are now coming home
Come with me ...
We dring from the fountain of love
And play with our children til the moon is rising
We look at the world from above
From our tower of love
Believe me we have found our home
Come with me ...
There was a time we had to run
We had to freeze in the night
Do you remember
These days are gone and we have found
A better place in the light
A place in the light
When you're cold I will hold you my baby
When you're sad I will make you laugh again
If one day we'd be old and helpless
We would dance til the end
Come closer
Say, will you be mine? Will you be my baby?
We´re running out of time, we drank all the wine,
the sky turns to red
I see deep in your eyes something like „Mayby“,
dance into the night, come let the air be our bed
Come closer
There is something coming up in the air tonight
I can feel it coming up in the air, it´s alright
It´s that feeling I´ve been waiting for, so come closer
Come closer
There is magic all around in the air tonight
I wanna feel your body over and over, alright
It´s that feeling I´ve been waiting for, so come closer
Smile, shine like the sun, shine like a rainbow
You love to turn me on, you´re making me weak,
you´re making me strong
Sing, sing me a song, you want me to go slow?
Show me what you´ve got,
whatever we do can never be wrong
Come closer
There is something coming up in the air tonight
I can feel it coming up in the air, it´s alright
It´s that feeling I´ve been waiting for, so come closer
Come closer
There is magic all around in the air tonight
I wanna feel your body over and over, alright
It´s that feeling I´ve been waiting for, so come closer
The stars will shine upon us
The velvet sky will cover
Our sacred dance through the night
Come carress my body
Hold me closer, hug me
Let us fly to heaven
Come take my hand and we´ll find our way through the night....
Come closer
There is something coming up in the air tonight
I can feel it coming up in the air, it´s alright
It´s that feeling I´ve been waiting for, so come closer
Come closer
There is magic all around in the air tonight
I wanna feel your body over and over, alright
Woke up today without you
I never thought this could happen to me
I still hear you say "I miss you"
I still hear you say "I need to be free"
Out on the streets rain is falling
And it looks like how I feel
Even the wind is calling
Missing you like I did
Refrain:
How could I ever stop these tears from falling
Will I ever close my eyes tonight
How could I ever live without you
By my side
I know that someday you'll wake up
Turning around and trying to find
The one you have lost
The love you gave up
The love you have left behind
Refrain
And if you are lost and lonely
Knock on my door and I'll be there
Tell me I am the one and only
Tell me you're through be care
Then finally I stop these tears from falling
Then finally I close my eyes in the night
How could I ever lived without you
She came to me from outer space,
an angel with an angels face,
she came to see how this world would be
Even though I've seen her smile,
her eyes have been sad for quite a while,
her lips won't speak,
her secret she will keep
She came to me without a name,
an angel with an angels game,
she came to be like a dream to me
She would never say a word,
she sang her song just like a bird,
her eyes could tell things we could not spell
Angel: I have seen a better place to be
I've seen a brighter light to see
I've seen the world that's meant to be
I've heard an endless harmony
Cause I have been somewhere
in that blue sky of mine
I could read it in her face,
she'd like to find a better place
where she belongs
She's weak but there she's strong
And one day I know that she will leave,
one day I know she'll disappear from me,
one day she will be free
Angel: I will find a better place to be
I'll see a brighter light to see
I'll see the world that's meant to be
I'll hear an endless harmony
Cause I will be somewhere
in that blue sky of mine
There is a place
Where we could be as one
We all could live our lives together
There's something I know
I will break these chains around me
I will never be a part of their game
There's something I feel
I can make my dream come true
Whatever they try they won't break me
Cause I'm free to do what I want
To say what I need to say
I'm free to feel what they don't
To see what I wanna see
To be what I wanna be
Be free
I'm taking my time
I'll do what I believe in
I will never be a part of their games
I'm hoping to find
A way to make it real
Whatever they say they won't stop me
There is a place that I know
There is a way I can show
And you will see
That I'm free ...
There is a place
Where we could be as one
I was wrong, I know we hurt you
forgive me is all I can say
I try to hard to find the words to say
we´ll find a way
we heard ourselves, when we heard in eachother
we sill keep doing this again
take my hand, be my brother
we dont´t need to play that game
CHORUS:
What ever may come, we stay together
you are the one who makes me live again
can´t you feel our hearts, beating together
beating as one
as one
-only second time-
beating as one
as one
-Only third time-
beating as one
as one
beating as one
as one
beating as one
as one
beating as one
times of joy and times of sorrow
so much we´ve been true
I don´t care what comes tomorow
all I need in my life is you
CHORUS:
Dry your eyes now
it´s getting better
don´t you get yourself down it´s now
sacrifice now we stay together
is it love we have found
is it hard to keep it forever
is it hard to believe
CHORUS:
Walking down the avenues and all that I need
Is in one hand a cigarette, in the other one my sweethearts hand
Walking down the tuileries, wherever we sit with our six-string
The people would dance on the streets and would sing
Going up to sacre-coeur, what can I say?
Well the painters are painting and music will play all night
Back to where we´re coming from, we sleep for a while
And the moon hits our eyes in this wonderful, wonderful night
Paris in springtime, making you all mine
There is a perfume that fills every boulevard
Walking along the seine, taking you by the hand
Paris in springtime has taken our hearts
Paris in springtime has taken our hearts
Suddenly the rain falls down, we´re trying to hide
Under trees on the champs elysées while the lights go down
I take my guitar in hands and play for a while
And a warm breeze is carrying the clouds away into the night
Paris in springtime, making you all mine
There is a perfume that fills every boulevard
Walking along the seine, taking you by the hand
Paris in springtime has taken our hearts
Paris in springtime has taken our hearts
As we come to chatelet
We sit into a nice cafe
And we spend our last coins
Going down to Luxembourg
Passing by la rue du jour
Singing one of our favourite tunes
Then you put your arm around me, everything´s fine
And we pass through the arc de triomphe where a beggar lies
Wrapped in ragged clothes he begs for some coins
But we haven´t got anythimg anymore for him tonight
Paris in springtime, making you all mine
There is a perfume that fills every boulevard
Walking along the seine, taking you by the hand
Paris in springtime has taken our hearts
I go walkin' under a paper moon
All the birds are singing
Singing you a pretty tune
All the constellations and all the stars above
They all start to whistling
They start singing along
The world is not a monster
And I'm not scared at all
Floatin' through your heavens
The world is in my arms
Oh rainy day
Don't follow me
Cause I'm her baby doll
She's my cup of tea
I go walkin' under a paper moon
And my eyes are made of crystals
Plastic flowers bloom
All the leaves are changing
And the skies are blue
All these seasons of distraction
Can't take the smile God's given you
The world is but a monster
And I'm not scared at all
I'm floatin' through the heavens
The world is in my arms
Oh rainy day
Don't follow me
Cause I'm her baby doll
She's my cup of tea
Love takes care of love
