City Of Light

I open my eyes
This morning's begun for us
As the light starts to warm my bed
This river runs by
Left bank, we sit together
Sipping as we watch the skies

I don't know why,
I don't know why.
I don't know why
We don't even try.
I don't know why,
I don't know why
This love would make a grown man cry.

Such a perfect night
In our paradise:
This city of light.
And the day will pass,
But the moments last
In the city of light.
I'll never ask,
I'll never ask
For
A better day with you.
I'll never ask,
I'll never ask
For
A better day with you.

I take a picture
Of you sitting alone in the grass,
Just smiling, laughing in the sun
Holding my arm
As we dance on through the garden,
Living. Loving. Forever young.

I now know why,
I now know why,
I now know why
People try and try.
I now know why,
I now know why
Our love begins to touch the sky.

Such a perfect night
In our paradise:
This city of light.
And the day will pass,
But the moments last
In the city of light.
I'll never ask,
I'll never ask
For
A better day with you.
I'll never ask,
I'll never ask
For
A better day with you.

We'll take a bath
In the glass
Pushing up against the wall.
Windows aren't blind,
Our bodies entwined,
But we couldn't care at all.

Such a perfect night
In our paradise:
This city of light.
And the day will pass,
But the moments last
In the city of light.
I'll never ask,
I'll never ask
For
A better day with you.
I'll never ask,
I'll never ask
For
A better day with you.
