I want to wake up in Paris As the city greets the day I want to wake up in Paris And watch the sun rise on the quais The magic of a bridge above the Seine is rare And as she flows, it seems she knows we're there I want to wake up in Paris And stroll along a rue I want to melt into Paris And lose a day or two I can't explain why this refrain Makes my heart feel so new I want to wake up in Paris with you A rainy day, a small café, the world stands still The city glows as though she always will I want to wake up in Paris I've been away too long When just a single day in Paris Makes all other days feel wrong I can't explain why this refrain Makes my heart feel so new I want to wake up in Paris with you
