Lyrics
Down on Bowery they lose their
Ball-eyes and their lip-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 on Lexington they’re wearing
New shoes stuck to aging feet
And close their eyes and open
And not recognize the aging street
And think about how 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
Oo-oo-oo, 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’ll melt
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
Oo-oo-oo, 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, in the rain, oh I love Paris in the rain
I love Paris in the rain
I love, I love, in the rain, oh I love, I love, in the rain, oh I love, I love, in the rain, oh I love, I love, in the rain, oh, oh, oh
