Nanna's Song - Ralph McTell

If I take you dancing down the streets to watch you laughing

And stop still in the spring night rain just to watch you smile again

Understand I hold you hand a little tight as if by this

I’ll stop the night from running into morning light too soon

Ice cream and candy bars, a Paris moon and Paris stars

Can you count the times that we heard the chimes of Notre Dame

Across the Seine to remind us sadly once again

Time just like the river was swiftly passing by

Just a few reminders of the little things that bind us

Do they make you sad or make you glad to think about the times we had

In my dreams you’re dancing in the embers of the evening

And I’ll hold your hand a little tight just to stop this special night

From running into morning light too soon
