Corinne Bailey Rae - Paris Nights / New York Mornings Lyrics

Breakfast at Mickey's, make-up still on
Elbows on the greasy tablecloth
One more coffee and one last cigarette
Smiling at the rain 'cause you hold me close
My best dress on underneath this old coat
Walking down Bleecker, no one is awake yet

And onward, seven hours
Nothing but clouds
And it's enough to make your heart sigh
I thought we should try
Pick me up and take me out

Ooh-ooh, we crash into love-filled nights
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Ooh-ooh, we race 'til we're out of time
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
And now that, ooh-ooh, you've taken me up so high
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Don't let me down (don't let me down)
Don't let me down (don't let me down)

I could see the lights from the restaurant
I couldn't quite perfect that nonchalance
Paris and champagne with one brown sugar cube

And we danced while the band played She's Not There
Kissed me in the rain by the Rue Voltaire
It's a perfectly good way to ruin those silk shoes

Still, seven hours
Nothing but clouds
And it's enough to make your heart sigh
We should try
For each other and for the lovers

Ooh-ooh, we crash into love-filled nights
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Ooh-ooh, we race 'til we're out of time
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
And now that, ooh-ooh, you've taken me up so high
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Don't let me down (don't let me down)
Don't let me down (don't let me down)

Ooh, you change and you grow
But we were young
We were young and we didn't know
We didn't know, ohh

Ooh-ooh, we crash into love-filled nights
(Paris nights and New York mornings, New York mornings)
Ooh-ooh, we race 'til we're out of time
(Paris nights and New York mornings, New York mornings)
And now that, ooh-ooh, you've taken me up so high
(Paris nights and New York mornings)
Don't let me down (don't let me down)
Don't let me down (don't let me down)

(Paris nights) don't let me down, don't let me down
(So high) don't let me down, don't let me down
(New York mornings) don't let me down
