Under Paris Skies

Ray Conniff

"Under Paris Skies"

Stranger beware,
There's love in the air
Under Paris skies;
Try to be smart,
Don't let your heart
Catch on fire!
Love becomes king
The moment it's Spring
Under Paris skies;
Lonely hearts meet
Somewhere on the street
Of desire.

Parisian love can bloom
High in a skylight room,
Or in a gay cafe
Where hundreds of people can see!

I wasn't smart
And I lost my heart
Under Paris skies;
Don't ever be
A heartbroken stranger like me!

Oh, I fell in love,
Yes I was a fool,
For Paris can be
So beautifully cruel;
Paris is just a gay coquette
Who wants to love and then forget.
Stranger beware!
There's love in the air!

Just look and see
What happened to me
Under Paris skies;
Watch what you do,
The same thing can happen to you! to you!
Watch what you do,
The same thing can happen to you!
