[Intro] (Ah-ah-ah, in the city of London) [Verse] Now in London, the lights glow so brightly, There’s a barrister lost in his thoughts, There's a court where his voice rings so rightly, In the dawn of a crisp morning light. [Chorus] Ay, ay, ay, ay, Take this song, take this song, Take this song with its questions unasked. Oh, I want you, I want you, I want you, To rise from the weight of your mind, In the maze of a thousand reflections, On a bed where our shadows entwine [Verse 2] There’s a chamber in London, they know you, With your wit, with your heart, with your might, There’s a room where your worries find shelter, And the night pulls them out one by one. [Chorus] Ay, ay, ay, ay, Take this song, take this song, Let it hum as the day has begun. [Bridge] And we'll toast to you here in this moment, With the weight of your breath in the quiet, To the flood of your beauty, I yield. [Chorus] Oh, Danny, oh Danny, Take this day, take this day, It’s yours now, it’s all that there is. [Outro] Ay, ay, ay, ay, Take this song, take this song. [Ending] (And let the waltz carry you away.)
