words & music by jason mraz



Bright lights, big city



Was quite extraordinary.



The drive was pretty.



I was in perfect company.



The love of a lifetime,



Since we were elementary friends;



The one with the bright eyes..



 



Why canÃÆ'•t I be optimistic?



I tried to find the logic logically.



I had a dream and I could not shake it.



I was standing up there naked.



 



ThereÃÆ'•s fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand



The live keep living; growing older more into a man..



And I let her grow away from me.



 



Love.. love is not pretending.



Time.. time was meant for mending



Memories into all is satisfactory,



Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles.



And I let her drive away from me.



 



The one with the bright eyes



Laughed her way inside this music box;



Stored away in the corner of my heart. And I let her get away from meÃÆ'‰



But IÃÆ'•ll never take that day away from me.
