"City Of Lights" lyrics

"City Of Lights"

I was born far away from here
I don't mind to leave it all behind
I am from where dragons fly
I don't mind to leave it all

Here with you, in the city of lights
Where the angels can hardly breathe
Here with you, where the dreams come to die
I'm happier than I have ever been

No, love, you don't need to buy me flowers
Don't need to worry that I am blue
No, love, you don't need to make me promises
I'm happy as long as I'm with you

I grew up on a pirate ship
Adventures across the seven seas
Oh, and the treasures we would find
What a good life it was for me

But here with you, in the city of lights
Where the hungry ghosts do roam
Here with you, where they're grabbing at your feet
I'm happier than I have ever known

Oh, love, you don't need to sell me stories
Don't tell me anything untrue
No, love, don't tell me things can be better than this
I'm happy as long as I'm with you

I'm happy as long as I'm with you
I'm happy as long as I'm with you
