LyricsIt's a steamy night in Paris, a couple's lost in their embraceIn a corner of a sweltering café We're all suddenly embarrassed as she slaps him cross the face And storms off down the Rue de la Paix I am helpless with my book Where I can't touch but only look I wonder if she's coming back this way Take me there Let me walk right thru the pages Take me there to that world Take me where I could play a part on the stage I've got changes to make, won't somebody take me there Foggy tarmac, haloed light a couple's cupped inside the night He looks at her from the shadow of his brim He said "You know that you must go, it's best for both of us, you know" She boards the plane but won't look back at him. I am nervous in my seat Where I can look but but I can't speak To tell her she is making a mistake Take me there Let me walk right thru the screen Take me there to that world Take me where I could play a part in the scene I've got changes to make, won't somebody take me there Someone's turned the lights down low I'm fading in the fire's glow Chasing all these shadows underground In hot pursuit I hit the stairs Up in the hall there's no one there I'm in a room and doors close all around I'm tangled up in my sheets Where I can't wake and I can't sleep I need to find my way back down Take me there Let me fall back to my dream Take me there to that world Take me where I could play a part in the scene I've got changes to make, oh somebody take me there |
