Book of brilliant things lyrics

(Next that ... up)

Thank you for the voice, the eyes, and the memory shine

Thank you for the pictures of living in the beautiful black and white

Some say we'll be together for a very long time

Some say that our first impressions never will lie.

[Chorus, 2X]

I would love to take a look

Into the bright and shiny book

Into the open scheme of things

Book of brilliant things

Book of brilliant things

I thank you for the shadows, it takes two or three to make company

I thank you for the lightning that should fell and sparkle out in the rain

Some say this could be the great divide

Someday some of them say that our hearts will

beat like the wheels of a fast train going 'round the world

[Chorus, 2X]

I would love to take a look

Into the bright and shiny book

Into the open scheme of things

Book of brilliant things

Book of brilliant things

I open up to take a look

Into the bright and shiny book

Book of brilliant things

Book of brilliant things

Some say we can be together for a very long time

Some say our hearts will beat like the wheels of a fast train

all around the world

All around the world

All around the world

Some say our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train

all around the world

All around, around, around, around, all around the world

Our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train, a very long time

All around, all around the, all around the, all around the world

Some say we'll be together

Some say for a very long time

Some of them will say a very long time

All around the world

All around the world, all around, around ...
