[Chorus]
The city's beautiful
In the early morning air
Love the smell of sunrise
And everything becomes so clear
I think you are beautiful
And you know it by one look
Did you long for summertime
When you were growing up?
[Pre-Chorus]
And when it finally came, it wasn't 'round for long
You ecstatically stumbled around
One warm second, it's suddenly gone
One warm second, it's suddenly gone
I wish that time would stand still
If this was a part of a film
We would watch the clip all day
Like a portrait of you and I
Like a portrait of you and I
[Chorus]
City's beautiful
Feel it in the morning air
Love the smell of sunrise
Everything becomes so clear
I think you are beautiful
And you know it by one look
Did you long for summertime
When you were growing up?
[Verse]
Well your life's just a breeze in eternity
Why not take this one chance and come fly with me?
Just this once
Just this second that soon will be gone
[Bridge]
If this second was your life, what would you do?
If this second was your life, I would love you
If this second was your life, would you love me?
If this second was my life, I would love it
If this second was my life, I would love you, woah
If this second was my life, I would happily die
[Chorus]
The city's beautiful
In the early morning air
Love the smell of sunrise
And everything becomes so clear
I don't have to look to see
Today it's all so clear
Chimney tops start to glow
And that's when I will disappear
