lyrics

Listen faint music, accordion sound
Feel the excitement the news just got out
The multitude grows and they’re hanging around here to see
Jacques in this city today

For he will bring chanson, he will bring passion
He will bring magic always
There’ll be life in this city
Hope in this City
Joy in this City always

God came in a vision, only to me
Said I could choose I wanted to see
Returned to the earth on a day's amnesty
Let there be...

Light in this city, song in this City
Jacques in this city today

No need for tickets, just wear something pretty
I’ll put on my best suit, the show's tonight
There will be music, there will be laughter
There will be drama tonight

Jacques’ spirit appears and up strikes the band
The audience cheers as they play ‘Amsterdam’
And I can’t fight the tears as he goes into ‘Ne Me Quit Pas’

Don’t leave this city, stay in this City
Jacques be this city always
