Katie Melua — Nine Million Bicycles (2005)

lyrics

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a fact;
It’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you ‘til I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge
That’s a guess;
No one can ever say it’s true
But I know that I will always be with you

I’m warmed by the fire of your love every day
So don’t call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say…

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
But you’re the one I love the most of all

Instrumental

We’re high on a wire with the world in our sight
And I’ll never tire
Of the love that give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a fact;
It’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you ‘til I die
And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you ‘til I die.
