The Shadows of Paris

The Shadows of Paris is a song performed by Jack Harmon and Mae Horton (revealed to be Heather Colby) in Boys (and Girls) on Film. The song was originally performed by either Elsie Bianchi or Fran Jeffries for the movie A Shot in the Dark.

Context
Taking place the same night as The Breakup and a little after his performance of the song Shattered (Turn the Car Around), Jack drunkenly performs this song with a mysterious woman (later revealed to be Mae Horton/Heather Colby) before they end up sleeping together. This leads to the near season long arc of Jack searching for his potential stalker.

Lyrics
Jack: Why must we meet in the shadows of Paris where hardly a star seems to shine?

Heather: ''Why can’t we meet in the sunlight of Paris where Paris can see you’re mine? Have you come to me from another whose lips you have tried?''

Jack: Do you still belong to another?

Jack and Heather: Is that why we hide?

Jack: Why am I cold in the sunlight of Paris where laughter and songs fill the skies?

Heather: Why am I warm in the shadows of Paris…?

Jack: When I know that dawn means goodbye?

Heather: Have you come to me from another whose lips you have tried?

Jack: Do you still belong to another?

Jack and Heather: 'Is that why we hide? Why am I cold in the sunlight of Paris where laughter and songs fill the skies? Why am I warm in the shadows of Paris when I know that dawn means…'

Jack: …goodbye?

Trivia

 * It is not known who originally sang this song as the soundtrack to A Shot in the Dark does give a name to the singer, so both potential singers will be credited here.
