Regina Spektor - Ne Me Quitte Pas lyrics

Down in Bowery they lose their ballads and their lipped-mouths in the night

And stumbling through the street, they say "Sir, do you got a light?

And if you do then you're my friend

And if you don't then you're my foe

And if you are a deity of any sort then please don't go"

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas

Down in Lexington they walk in new shoes stuck to aging feet

And close their eyes and open and not recognize the aging street

And think about the things were right

When they were young and veins were tight

And if you are the ghost of Christmas past

Then won't you stay the night?

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ooh ooh ooh

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas

Down in Bronxy Bronx the kids go sledding down snow covered slopes

And frozen noses, frozen toes, the frozen city starts to glow

And yes, they know that it will pass

And yes, they know New York will thaw

But if you're a friend of any sort

Then play along and catch a cold

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ooh ooh ooh

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas

I love Paris in the rain

I love Paris in the rain

I love, I love, I love in the rain

I love Paris in the rain

I love Paris in the rain

And I love I love I love in the rain

I love, I love, I love in the rain

Down in Paris they walk fast

That is unless they're walking slow

And in cafes they look away

That is unless they look right in

And in the gardens I get lost

That is unless I'm getting found

And if you are the ghost of New York City

Then won't you stick around?

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ooh ooh ooh

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas, ah ah ah

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher

Ne me quitte pas

I love Paris in the rain

I love Paris in the rain

I love, I love, I love in the rain

I love Paris in the rain

I love Paris in the rain

I love, I love, I love in the rain

And I love, I love, I love in the rain

And I love, I love, I love, in the rain

I love, I love

In the rain, in the rain

Oh, I love in the rain

In the rain, in the rain

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
