COLDPLAY ~ PARADISE

When this song first came out in the summer of 2011 - the summer when I had my 60th birthday - I loved it so much. I went around singing it all the time, especially when it came on the radio whilst we were out and about in the car.

This song could have been written about me!

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep

And dreamed of........

  Para-para-paradise, 
Para-para-paradise, 
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall

In the night the stormy night she'd close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly

And dream of........

Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

And dream of........

  Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

Lalalalalalalalalalala

And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be........

Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

This could be........
  
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

This could be........ 
  
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
