Cole Porter
Paris Loves Lovers
STEVE
Gaze on those glistening lights below and above
Oh what a night of nights for people in love
No city but this, my friend
No city I know
Gives romance such a chance to grow and grow

NINA (spoken)
Later this evening I will take a walk and observe the lights

STEVE (spoken)
If you go by yourself, you won't see them

STEVE (sung)
Paris
Loves lovers
For lovers
It's heaven above

Paris
Tells lovers
Love is supreme
Wake up your dream
And make love

Only in Paris
One discovers
The urge to mеrge with the splurge of thе Spring
Paris
Loves lovers
For lovers know that love is everything

NINA (spoken)
The things I want to see in Paris can be seen better in daylight. The municipal works, the Renault automobile factory, the sewerage system. They would be very interesting

STEVE (spoken)
Do you look at things only through the point of view of interest? Never from pleasure?

NINA (spoken)
Pleasure? Paris? What was it you said? The urge to merge with a splurge?

STEVE (spoken)
That's right

STEVE (sung)
No city but this, my friend
No city I know
Gives romance such a chance to grow and grow
