[Verse 1] Midnight whispers through the square Fireworks tangled in the air His hand in mine, the count begins I don’t know where he ends or I begin [Verse 2] Laughter spills like vintage wine The city hums, the church bells chime We press through crowds that call my name Paris sighs, it feels the same [Chorus] Midnight in Paris, lights and dreams The city turns, the river gleams I hold my breath, I count to ten And when I look, he’s closer than he’s ever been [Verse 3] The bridge is lit with shattered stars We trace our names on empty cars He laughs like he’s been here before Like this is what he’s waited for [Chorus 2] Midnight in Paris, lights and dreams The city turns, the river gleams I hold my breath, I count to ten And when I look, he’s closer than he’s ever been [Bridge – instrumental swell, strings and electric guitar] [The bells of Notre-Dame, the laughter of strangers, the soft spill of champagne on cobblestones…] [Verse 4] I almost kiss him, then I don’t He leans in first — I catch his coat The world erupts, the crowd goes wild And I feel like I’m somebody’s child [Final Chorus – whispered, shimmering] Midnight in Paris, lights and dreams The city turns, the river gleams I hold my breath, I count to ten And when I look, he’s closer than he’s ever been [Outro – strings fade, champagne bubbles, distant laughter]
