Fools Paradise

Eurythmics


Life 
It flicked like a dying flame 
Then before my very eyes you came 
And entered our world 
And you were born a king 
It's too late 
Welcome to paradise 
It's too late 
Yes you were born a king 
It's loo late 
Welcome to paradise 
It's too late 
Life 
A million things for you to learn 
But one by one those pages turn 
Like history itself 
But you were born a king 
Your pale blue eyes and velvet skin 
Fingertips and sideways grin 
No photograph or microphone 
Could capture your elusive tone 
No waterfall or running stream 
Could be so pure as your daydream 
No china doll or crystal sphere 
Comes close to you, my child so dear 
In you I have a glimpse of faith 
A love affair with outer space 
A foothold on a mountain top 
A passion there that never stops 
No magazines radio or late night 
TV monster show 
Could entertain me more than you 
I want you to know 
That you were born a king 
Welcome to paradise 
Yes you were born a king 
Welcome to paradise
