  • Do You Realize??

    Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
    Do you realize we’re floating in space
    Do you realize that happiness makes you cry
    Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die

    And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
    Let them know you realize that life goes fast
    It’s hard to make the good things last
    You realize the sun don’t go down
    It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

    Do you realize

    You realize the sun don’t go down
    It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

    Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face
    Do you realize
