A Night In Paris

Christopher Cross A Night In Paris Lyrics
1.All Right

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

I know
I know what's on your mind

And I know it gets tough sometimes.
But you can give it one more try to find a reason why

You should pick it up and try it again.
'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it.
I think it might just work out this time.I

It's all right - I think we're gonna make it
I think it might work out fine this time.
It's all right - I think we're gonna make
I think it might just work out

'Cause it's not too late for that - too late for me.
I know I've been hurt before

And I know I really shouldn't give any more.
But this time
this time things seem just a little different.
And when I look in your eyes
you know I can see that it's true.
And I hear you say:
It's all right - I think we're gonna make it. . . .
Just when you feel helpless
nothing lefl to say.
Love will find us. The past behind us - then we're on our way.
Time and time again I see people so unsure like me

We all know it gets hard sometimes. You can give it one more try

Find another reason why you should pick it up

You should kick it up and try it again.
'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it.
'Cause it's all right - I think we're gonna make it.


2.The Light Is On

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Is it yours
Is it mine
I was never the kind who could draw the line
Are you free
Unforgiven
Is this the kind of world you could live in

It's alright
The light is on
The darkness has run to hide
It's alright
The light is on
But the darkness is just outside
Outside your window


Beating down
Making the sound of the rain
Drive you crazy
Make you lazy
You know it's only the rain


3.Leave It To Me

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Well it's just another morning
And I see you at the usual place
And I'm pretty certain that you've been hurtin'
I can see it in your fabulous face
It looks to me like you need some healing
And I got this feeling I might be good for you
You know there's something about you
Makes me want to go out of my way
To make you forget him as if you never met him
And remind you it's a beautiful day
But if the rain comes don't you get nervous
I'm at your service to be your umbrella boy
If your heart's had a real rocky landing
And you need some sweet understanding
I got it here and if you'd like to receive it
Just leave it to me
I guess I'm not the kind of man
That you hold every night in your dreams
But everybody knew it except for you
That that other guy is not what he seems
Don't feel too bad 'cause you were mistaken
You need a break and I think I have a plan
If you feel like your head's out to getcha
You could use a little laughter I'll betcha
You lost your heart and you can't quite retrieve it
Just leave it to me
Just leave it to me
Ooh little darlin'
Living in this world just cuts to the bone
If I could help you
I might find some meaning here on my own
And I won't get so lonely
Now the sun is setting
And my fears are beginning to rise
But all my darkness would fly away
If I could take the trouble out of your eyes
So if you need me honey I'll be there
I guarantee there's nothing I wouldn't do
If your heart's had a real rocky landing
And you need some sweet understanding
I got it here and if you'd like to receive it
Just leave it to me
If you feel like your head's out to getcha
You could use a little laughter I'll betcha
You lost your heart and you can't quite retrieve it
Just leave it to me
Just leave it to me


4.Everything

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

You are everything
I never knew I wanted
(I want it)
Every day
On my own
Feel uptight
Feel alone
Then at once
Right on cue
I remember you
Straightaway
I find my ease
You soothe my system
Like a curtainful of breeze
This two-fisted heart
Comes uncurled
Feel like I can save the world
You are everything
I never knew I wanted (you are the one)
You are everything
I didn't know I needed
You're a smile
Across the sky
You are the good
In the word goodbye
And when I lose myself in you
Feel like I'm everything too
You are everything (so everything)
I never knew I wanted (you are the one)
You are (who brings up the sun)
Everything (every day)
I didn't know I needed
Ooh - an accidental state of grace
Ooh - a splash of moonlight on my face
Ooh - a wave of crushing blue
They're all you
You are everything
I never knew I wanted (you are the one)
You are (who brings up the sun)
Everything
I didn't know...
You are everything (so everything)
I never knew I wanted (you are the one)
You are (who brings up the sun)
Everything (every day)
I didn't know I needed
I need it


5.No Time For Talk

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Well I read it in town in the melancholy news
The front page story is our love is through
The hand of time is cold -- I can't stand to hear the truth
Somehow I won't believe it 'til I've heard it from you

But there's no time for talk
And there's no place for tears
There's no reason to wonder after all of these years
Sure we had some good times
And so who's to blame
It's so hard to tell when you both feel the pain


After the years have come and gone
The struggle to forget you will have just begun
We had our ups and downs but one thing's for sure
No one will ever love you more


6.When You Come Home

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Now the days crawl by
And every night I die
Since you've been gone
The dark still brings the dawn
But baby what do I care
But when you walk in that door
It won't be like before
No you
No me
Just us eternally
This babe I swear
When you come home
You will find a different man
'Cause I learned a thing or two
Tryin' to live here without you
When you come home
I'll give everything I can
We'll go back where we began when you come home
Now a woman can be so strong
And a man can be so wrong
So here I stand
A tiny sea of teardrops in each hand
Praying you'll return
When you come home
I will hand my life to you
'Cause I see the bad I've done
Lookin' out for number one
When you come home
I'll make every pleasure new
And you'll know a love so true when you come home
I can see our life so crystal clear
But I lose my mind when you're not here
And the clock's so loud and the sheets are cold
And my head's on fire and my heart's on hold
And the day's too bright and the night's so dark
And my insides ache like a hungry shark
And there ain't no dope that can kill this pain
'Cause I smell your skin in the pouring rain
Come home baby
I've done time for my offense
You can be back home today
'Cause my love will light your way
Come on home
We will live in present tense
And my world will all make sense
When you come home
Let forgiveness warm the night
And I'll trade in all my lies
For the soul behind your eyes
When you come home
When you come home
If...you come home


7.Minstrel Gigolo

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

You're the minstrel gigolo
Don't you know
You sing your songs of love so soft and low
And they want you more and more

All the young and lonely girls wait for you
There by the backstage door
And they're hoping to
Be the one


And when you start to sing
You will be their everything
And when you start to sing
Every woman will open up her heart
And let you in


8.Walking In Avalon

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Maybe I remind you of a lover you had
Maybe I'm crazy and I make you laught
Maybe you thought I had a lot of cash
I don't care what it was
But I love what it does

I really dig that your apartment's a mess
I dig the way the sun shines through your dress
I did your industrial shoes
I could say I'm kinky I guess
I can't believe my luck
You're such a fabulous fabulous mmm

I'm walking in Avalon
And drunk on everything
Her hero in Avalon
A man who would be king

It's cool we both like Bogart and Bacall
It's cool that I like John and you like Paul
Baby it's cool forever cool that your spirit is free
And still you've chosen me

I'm walking in Avalon
And drunk on everything
Her hero in Avalon
A man who would be king

Remenber those mushrooms down in Mexico
How we found our clothes I'll never know
Baby I hope I've loved you the way that you have loved me
A toast to Guinevere
Let's fill our grail with one more beer

I'm walking in Avalon
And drunk on everything
Her hero in Avalon
A man who would be king

We're walking in Avalon
Alive is anything
Two heroes in Avalon
So let the sirens sing


9.Sailing

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
Find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
You'll believe me

Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me

Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Well, it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
Find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Then you'll believe me

Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free


10.Never Be The Same

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either of us can say or do
Can change the way you feel tonight
Sometimes love just slips out of sight

Just one thing before you go
Just one thing that you've got to know
No one will ever touch me that way
The way that you did that very first day


And I'll
Never be the same without you here
I'll live alone
Hide myself behind my tears
And I'll
Never be the same without your love
I'll live alone
Try so hard to rise above


The years go by
There's always someone new
To try and help me forget about you
Time and again it does me no good
Love never feels the way that it should


I loved you then I guess I'll love you forever
And even though I know we could never stay together
I think about how it could have been
If we could just start all over again


It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either of us can say or do
Can change the way you feel today
Sometimes love just slips away


11.Dreamers

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Off in a million dark corners
Dreamers sit plying their trade
Mind like an open umbrella
Dreamers dreamers
Calmly watch the parade
As we gasp at the madness
They dream through the horrors we grieve
What would the world be without them
Dreamers dreamers
Bring our only reprieve
Look inside them
No one's there
Steal their secrets
They don't care
Dreamers see beauty in trouble
Dreamers find truth in it all
Tuning their ears to the starlight
Dreamers dreamers
May the universe call
All good dreamers know despair
Take your best shot
They don't care
Dream a lot
All good dreamers know despair
Take your best shot
I don't care
Some dreamers dream till they get there
Some dreamers stop at the door
So let's sing a song for the lost ones
Dreamers dreamers
May they dream ever more


12.Spinning

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Ooh wee
Got me spinning
Got me spinning 'round
Like I think I'm winning

It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out


Ooh wee
It's only the beginning
You got me spinning'round
Like I think I'm winning


13.I Really Don't Know Anymore

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

What do you think about love
Is it a game to be played
To be torn and lost in the wilderness
To be lost
And lonely after all

What do you think about love
Is it a way to be saved
To feel the warmth of another love
To be lost
And lonely after all


I really don't know anymore
I really can't say
I really don't know anymore
I'm just that way


What do you think about love
Is it a game to be played
To keep your heart and have never loved
To be lost
And lonely after all


What do you think about love
Is it a way to be saved
To give up your heart to another love
To be lost
And lonely after all


I really don't know anymore
I really can't say
I really don't know anymore
I'm just that way


14.November

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Moth on the windowpane
Could be alive or dead
You across the room lost in your head
All that's left is the storm outside
Water beating stone
And we hang in a web of stillness all our own
Two hearts
Bundled to the cold
Closed eyes
Watching love grow old
Dear friend
Can it really be november
Season of goodbye under an angry topaz sky
Neap tide and a waning moon gone mad
Like a song I heard as a little boy
That I did not understand
But somehow I knew it was sad
Two hearts
Bundled to the cold
Closed eyes
Watching love grow old
Dear friend
Can it really be november
Time wills
Oh and time kills
Bare trees won't remember
Two hearts
In the failing light
No blame
Doing what seems right
But the rain won't stop
Can it really be...


15.Arthur's Theme

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wondering to yourself, 'Hey, what've I found?'

When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do ......
The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, his masters' choice
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be

When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do .....
The best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the Moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the Moon and New York City
The best that you can do .....
The best that you can do is fall in love


16.Ride Like The Wind

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

It is the night. My body's weak.
I'm on the run. No time to sleep.
I've got to ride.

Ride like the wind to be free again.
And I got such a long way to go.
To make it to the border of Mexico.
so I'll ride like the wind.

I was born the son of a lawless man.
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand.
Lived nine lives
gunned down ten.
ride like the wind.

And I got such a long way to go.
To make it to the border of Mexico.
So I'll ride like the wind.
Ride like the wind.
Ride like the wind.

Accused and tried and told to hang
I was no where in sight
when the church bells rang.
Never was the kind to do as I was told.
ride like the wind before I get old.

It is the night. My body's weak.
I'm on the run. No time to sleep.
I've got to ride.
Ride like the wind to be free again.

And I got such a long way to go.
To make it to the border of Mexico.
So I'll ride like the wind.
Ride like the wind.

And I got such a long way to go.
To make it to the border of Mexico.
So I'll ride like the wind.
Gonna run like the wind.


17.Say You'll Be Mine(Encore)

Writer(s):Christopher Cross

Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine until the sun shines
Say you'll be mine
And bring me the dream of a lifetime

I just can't hide the truth no more
I've got to get my feet back down on the floor
I love you so
I need you so
I just don't think I can let you go


Well, it's you that keeps me feeling this way
I don't think I can take it even one more day
It don't seem right
That I should be alone tonight
