lyrics

When the sun comes up over Paris
It's like any other day
Except that you're in Paris
What more need I say
I climbed the Eiffel Tower
So I could touch the sky
I took almost an hour
And I can sure see why

And you give me a thousand million reasons why we're not alone
And you give me a thousand million seasons where life goes on and on and on and on

I woke up here in heaven
Floating round the sun
I count down from eleven
All the way to one

And you give me a thousand million reasons why we're not alone
And you give me a thousand million seasons where life goes on and on

And in this world truth be told
We're the lucky ones
And if we find someone to love until we fade away into the rise and fall of each and every night and day
Together we’ll breathe into the wind

And you give me a thousand million reasons why we're not alone
And you give me a thousand million seasons where life goes on and on and on and on

And you give me a thousand million reasons why we're not alone
And you give me a thousand million seasons where life goes on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on……..

4. The Best in Me

(Colin Hay/Michael Georgiades) Colin Hay Music (APRA/ASCAP)/Old Canyon Music (ASCAP)

At breaking of the light
I see it all so clear
My darkness will disappear
As I push you away from here
And you wait so patiently
To bring out the best in me

Shadows in the night
Danger is all I know
So difficult to let go
If I close my eyes and breathe
Gets easier to believe
And you bring out the best in me

I keep walking out and meet myself walking back in
And time's not on my side
You keep on believing I will finally arrive and I will realize

I can no longer fight
So tenderly as we go
No swimming against the tide
Letting go of my worthless pride
In your reflection I can see
That you bring out the best in me

I keep walking out and meet myself walking back in
And time's not on my side
You keep on believing I will finally arrive and I will realize

So take another ride
And I will hold you near
We cast away all our fear
and I want you to know
That you help set me free
And you bring out the best in me
Yeah you help set me free
And you bring out the best in me
