Lyrics

Thank you for the voice, the eyes and the memories shine.
Thank you for the pictures of living in the beautiful black and the white.
Some say we’ll be together for a very long time.
Some say that our first impressions never will lie.

I open up 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,
Into the open scheme of things,
Book of brilliant things.
Oh, 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 shoots up,
And sparkles in the rain.
Some say this could be the great divide,
Some day some of them say that our hearts will beat,
Like the wheels of the fast train, all around the world.

I open up to take a look,
Into the bright and shiny book,
Into the open scheme of things,
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, all around, around, around,
All around the world.

Our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train,
A very long time,
All around and all around and all around and all around the world.
Some say we’ll be together.
Some say.

A very long time, some of them will say,
A very long time all around the world.
