Nine million Bicycles                          

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.

We’re high on a wire with

The world in our sight,

And I’ll never tire,

Of the love that you

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 vou ‘til I die.

And there are nine million

Bicycles in Beijing,

And you know that

I will love you ‘til I die.
