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 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 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 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 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 (whoa) If this second was my life I would happily die 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
