[Intro: brushed drums, upright bass, soft guitar] Bonsoir, Riviera The elevator sighs We rise above the palm trees To watch the painted skies [Verse 1: smoky spoken-sung male vocal] Dinner on the rooftop Glasses catching light Little forks and tired faces Dressed up for the night Epcot in the distance A shimmer through the blue Fireworks like little secrets Opening for you [Chorus: elegant, restrained] Oh, Riviera High above the day The parks are glowing softly As the music floats away Oh, Riviera Hold the evening still We are tired, we are lucky And the sky is overfilled [Verse 2: dry, witty] The children lean and wonder The grown-ups breathe again A little bit of Paris At the Florida end The fireworks are blooming Red and gold and green A perfect little ending To a long and lovely scene [Final Chorus: slightly fuller, still restrained] Oh, Riviera High above the day The parks are glowing softly As the music floats away Oh, Riviera One more quiet thrill We are tired, we are lucky And the sky is overfilled [Outro: soft spoken tag] Bonsoir, fireworks Bonsoir, sweet day From the rooftop of Riviera We watch it fade away
