Ralph McTell - Nanna's Song lyrics

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
