Christmas in Paris

Intro

La-la, la-la, oh-oh

Guitar hum, winter breath (mm-hmm)

Verse

First snow on the tarmac, your hand found mine

We walked through a postcard, Paris in December time

In the Louvre you laughed, we lingered at the line

Then we kissed by the Mona Lisa, like somebody else's song (oh)

We climbed the Arc, the city wrapped beneath our feet

You pointed out the rooftops, I held you close, steady and sweet

A little naughty at the Moulin Rouge, red lights and cheeky grins

We left with glitter on our coats and the taste of adventure on our skin

Pre-chorus

Market stalls, warm steam rising, vin chaud in our palms (yeah)

Hot chocolate, sticky fingers, and chestnuts on the fire (mm)

We breathed the cold and let it in, laughing like we had no plans

Every corner felt like magic with you and that silly grin (oh-oh)

Chorus

Christmas in Paris, you and I (you and I)

Under the Eiffel, stars spilled from the sky (from the sky)

We said yes under that shining light (I said yes)

Christmas in Paris, you and I (you and I) — oh-oh

Christmas in Paris, you and I (yeah, yeah)

Verse

We chased Emily in Paris hotspots, window-shopping through the day

Stopped for McDonald's shakes on a bench where pigeons played

You wore my scarf, I stole your hat, we tried to talk in French and failed

But your laugh was louder than stern guidebooks and our map was made of tales

Notre Dame held its breath, ancient stone, hush and grace

We stood small in its doorway, traced the quiet on your face

And later, under twinkle lights, you knelt down in the frost

I felt the whole world tilt, and I knew what all of this was worth

Pre-chorus

Cobblestones, the carols distant, our mittens wrapped up tight (mm-hmm)

Vin chaud warming fingertips, your cheek against mine at night (oh)

Even the rain felt gentle, like someone swept away the noise

I found forever in a simple question and your whisper said my name (yeah)

Chorus

Christmas in Paris, you and I (you and I)

Under the Eiffel, stars spilled from the sky (from the sky)

We said yes under that shining light (I said yes)

Christmas in Paris, you and I (you and I) — oh-oh

Christmas in Paris, you and I (yeah, yeah)

Bridge

Remember the carousel, the brass horses and your grin (uh-huh)

We spun until we were dizzy, like the whole town spun with us in

Promise me we'll keep the map, the ticket stubs and little things

Keep the vin chaud warmth in winter, and the way the Eiffel sings (mm)

Chorus

Christmas in Paris, you and I (you and I)

Under the Eiffel, stars spilled from the sky (from the sky)

We said yes under that shining light (I said yes)

Christmas in Paris, you and I (you and I) — oh-oh

Christmas in Paris, you and I (yeah, yeah)

Christmas in Paris, you and I (you and I)

Under the Eiffel, I held your hand and you held mine (held mine)

Outro

La-la, la-la, Christmas in Paris (oh-oh)

La-la, la-la, you and I (you and I)

La-la, la-la
