Corinne Bailey Rae - Paris Nights/ New York Mornings

Breakfast at Mickey's, make-up still on 
Elbows on the greasy table cloth 
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 

Still, seven hours 
Nothing but clouds 
It's enough to make your heart sigh 
We should try 
So pick me up and take me out 

Oo we crash into love-filled nights 
(Paris nights and New York mornings) 
Oo we race till we're out of time 
(Paris nights and New York mornings) 
And now that you've taken me up so high 
(Paris nights and New York mornings) 
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 
It's enough to make your heart sigh
We should try
For each other and for the lovers 


You change and you grow
But we were young
We were young and we didn't know
We didn't know

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