Paris Night

A cold Paris night

Keep you awake, for a while at least

I've missed your smile

I'm glad we're here, not at home, on this bleak weekend

Tomorrow I'll take you to Saint Chapelle

I long to see your face when you look up

I'm so glad we're here

Sharing clothes, sharing makeup

It's what I wished for on your first birthday

I know they have plans for you

But can we stay in this bedsit for two?

Not really sure what to do with my time

How can I elongate Paris with you?

I'm sorry we had to fly

I know you hate that and so should I

God you're too good

I hope they know

I'll let them know

Who do I write to?

I cup your hand, once so small

Still, we are, against Joni and the heart-marked trees

It's just me and just you

At the very root of ourselves

I know they have plans for you

But can we stay in this bedsit for two?

Not really sure what to do with my time

How can I elongate Paris with you?

[I just want you to say you won't be a stranger

Don't be a stranger]

A cold Paris night

Keep you awake for a while

At least
