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
