Fred Astaire - Paris Loves Lovers Lyrics

Song written by Cole Porter
Fred Astaire (with Carole Richards) - Paris Loves Lovers Lyrics


(from "Silk Stockings" - 1955 Broadway Musical)

Gaze on the 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

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 merge with the splurge of the spring
Paris loves lovers for lovers know
That love is everything

Paris loves lovers,
For lovers it's heaven above
(Capitalistic, characteristic,
sensualistic, they should be atheistic)
Paris tells lovers, love is supreme,
Wake up your dream and make love
(Imperialistic, I'm pessimistic,
That's anti communistic)

Only in Paris one discovers the urge
To merge with the splurge of the spring
(Militaristic, you're optimistic, du jour propaganda)
Paris loves lovers for lovers know
That love is everything
(Unrealistic, is individualistic
And not at all collectivistic but a low
Totalitarianistic thing)

Fred Astaire Lyrics Paris Loves Lovers


Song lyrics written by Cole Porter

Anything Goes
My Heart Belongs to Daddy
Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)
Night and Day
It's De-Lovely
Too Darn Hot
All of You
Well Did You Evah?
Easy to Love
You're the Top
I Concentrate on You
It's All Right with Me
I've Got You Under My Skin
Wunderbar
I've Still Got My Health
Make It Another Old-Fashioned Please
High Society Calypso
Always True to You in My Fashion
Let's Be Buddies
Ça C'est L'amour
Why Can't You Behave?
Love for Sale
You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to
Just One of Those Things
So in Love
I Get a Kick Out of You
All Through the Night
Miss Otis Regrets
Begin the Beguine
Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love
True Love
Tom, Dick or Harry
Paris Loves Lovers
Get Out of Town
The Physician
Every Time We Say Goodbye
I Love You
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
I Love You Samantha
At Long Last Love
Down in the Depths on the Nineteenth Floor
Experiment
Satin and Silk
Everything I Love
Don't Fence Me in
Let's Misbehave
In the Still of the Night
