Píseň: Under Paris Skies

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Cooke's Tour
Stranger beware
 There's love in the air
 Under Paris skies
 Try to be smart
 And 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 longs to love and then regret
 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
