Magic Night In Paris

Album: Nothing But Time (2025)
Play Video
  • That magic night in the Latin Quarter of gay Paris
    I couldn't believe the sounds I would hear
    Or the sights that I would see
    I time traveled down the narrow stairs
    To the candle lit cave below
    Where the jazzy swing band singer announced
    "Hey, I hope you Enjoy the show"

    Everyone's there for the music
    Everyone's there for the dance
    And some folks there for just one reason,
    To find as little romance

    A tall French woman with a thick accent
    Grabs the mic and starts to sing
    She Pauses a moment and asks the crowd
    "Hey, can anyone dance the swing?"
    The jazz man blows his Saxophone
    The piano Man pounds the keys
    He kicks away his piano bench
    And starts playing on his knees

    Everyone's there for the music
    Everyone's there for the dance
    And some folks there for just one reason,
    To find a little romance

    A Frenchman tips his cap
    To a woman in a red lace dress
    He asks her dance without saying a word
    With Just a wink and a smile she says "Mais Oui"

    Their hips and feet were in perfect synch
    As they swayed across the floor
    The crowd cleared a space for them to dance
    Yelling and shouting for more

    Everyone's there for the music
    Everyone's there for the dance
    The Frenchman who tipped his cap was there.
    And he found a little romance

    Everyone's there for the music
    Everyone's there for the dance
    The woman in the red lace dress was there
    And she found a little romance

    That magic night in Paris
    A night I won't forget
    That magic night in the Latin Quarter
    At Caveau de la Huchette
