1,000 Beautiful Things Lyrics - Annie Lennox

Every day I write the list 

Of reasons why I still believe they do exist 

(a thousand beautiful things) 

And even though it's hard to see 

The glass is full and not half empty 

(a thousand beautiful things) 

So... light me up like the sun 

To cool down with your rain 

I never want to close my eyes again 

Never close my eyes 

Never close my eyes 

I thank you for the air to breathe 

The heart to beat 

The eyes to see again 

(a thousand beautiful things) 

And all the things that's been and done 

The battle's won 

The good and bad in everyone 

(this is mine to remember) 

So ... 

Here I go again 

Singin' by your window 

Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find 

The world was meant for you and me 

To figure out our destiny 

(a thousand beautiful things) 

To live 

To die 

To breathe 

To sleep 

To try to make your life complete 

(yes yes) 

So ... 

Light me up like the sun 

To cool down with your rain 

I never want to close my eyes again 

Never close my eyes 

Never close my eyes ... 

That is everything I have to say 

(that's all I have to say)
