Regina Spektor: Ne me quitte pas

Down in Bowery they lose their balladsAnd their lipped mouths in the nightAnd stumbling through the street they saySir do you got a lightAnd if you do then you're my friendAnd if you don't then you're my foeAnd if you are a deity of any sort then please don't goNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas ah ah ahNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pasDown in Lexington they walk in new shoes stuck to aging feetAnd close their eyes and openAnd recognize the aging streetAnd think about the things were rightWhen they were young and veins were tightAnd if you are the ghost of Christmas pastThen won't you stay the nightNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas ah ah ahNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas oh oh ohNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas ah ah ahNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pasDown in Bronxy Bronx the kids go sleddingDown snow covered slopes and frozen noses, frozen toesAnd the frozen city starts to glowAnd yes they know it will passAnd yes they know New York will thawBut if you're a friend of any sortThen play along and catch a coldNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas ah ah ahNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas oh oh ohNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas ah ah ahNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pasI love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rainI love I love I Love in the rainI love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rainAnd I Love I love I love in the rainI love I love I love in the rainDown in Paris they walk fastThat is unless they're walking slowAnd in cafes they look awayThat is unless they look right inAnd in the gardens I'm getting lostThat is unless I'm getting foundAnd if you are the ghost of New York CityThen won't you stick aroundNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas ah ah ahNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas oh oh ohNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pas ah ah ahNe me quitte pas mon cherNe me quitte pasI love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rainI love I love I love in the rainI love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rainI love I love I love in the rainAnd I love I love I love in the rain...
