Lyrics:
Opening
Overhead is the taillight
Of an Air France to Paris
Just the plane I should be on
Doors closed, pushed back
I guess everyone there is
Coupled up and no one is alone
V1
Settle in, cool down
For an all-night flight
Rest my eyes, So I'll be ready
To hit the streets by morning
Touchdown in the city of lights
V2
It's a city of romance
But I'm here again, alone
I slip into the silence
As I take in the sites, unnoticed
History blends with present time
Chorus
The view from the rooftop bar
The city stretches day and night
Impressions fill my senses
It seems to sparkle as the sunsets
Memories from another time
On the night flight to Paris
I feel alive thinking about
Parisian life
Bridge
Every time I visit Paris
A part of her becomes my home
And when it's time to leave
I think about the next time
I'll return
V3
There goes the fading taillights
Of an Air France to Paris
Just the plane I should be on
Wheels up, black smoke
I guess everyone there is
Coupled up and I am still alone
Chorus
The view from the rooftop bar
The city stretches day and night
Impressions fill my senses
It seems to sparkle as the sunsets
Memories from another time
On the night flight to Paris
I feel alive thinking about
Parisian life
Outro
I can see the fading taillights
As the plan lifts in the air
Couples close together
Nestled in my memories
Of the city of light
It's alright, I am alone
