Cole Porter
Paris Loves Lovers
STEVE
Gaze on those glistening lights below and above
Oh what a night of nights for people in love
No city but this, my friend
No city I know
Gives romance such a chance to grow and grow
NINA (spoken)
Later this evening I will take a walk and observe the lights
STEVE (spoken)
If you go by yourself, you won't see them
STEVE (sung)
Paris
Loves lovers
For lovers
It's heaven above
Paris
Tells lovers
Love is supreme
Wake up your dream
And make love
Only in Paris
One discovers
The urge to mеrge with the splurge of thе Spring
Paris
Loves lovers
For lovers know that love is everything
NINA (spoken)
The things I want to see in Paris can be seen better in daylight. The municipal works, the Renault automobile factory, the sewerage system. They would be very interesting
STEVE (spoken)
Do you look at things only through the point of view of interest? Never from pleasure?
NINA (spoken)
Pleasure? Paris? What was it you said? The urge to merge with a splurge?
STEVE (spoken)
That's right
STEVE (sung)
No city but this, my friend
No city I know
Gives romance such a chance to grow and grow
