Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Everyone you know someday will die?
[Chorus]
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
And you realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world
Spinning 'round
[Verse 2]
Do you realize
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
[Chorus]
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
And you realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world
Spinning 'round
[Outro]
Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize?
