The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
When the sun goes down
Paris wakes up
Fills up her cup and smiles
When the lights are low
Paris is high
Lights up the sky for miles
When they stop playing shop
On the Rue de la Paix
Count their stock
And they lock up their styles
When the busy town goes home to sup
Paris wakes up and smiles
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
