Singalong! Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips

Ooooh isn't this song just magical in its beauty? At one point I wanted it to be the first dance song at my wedding. I thought it was lovely to have a song about how we're all going to die so let's love each other. I was told that's weird.

DO YOU REALIZE

by The Flaming Lips

One, two, three, four...

Do you realize

That you have the most beautiful face?

Do you realize

We're floating in space?

Do you realize

That happiness makes you cry?

Do you realize

That everyone you know someday will die?

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know

You realize that life goes fast

It's hard to make the good things last

You realize the sun doesn't go down

It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round

Do you realize? Oh, oh, oh

Do you realize

That everyone you know someday will die?

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know

You realize that life goes fast

It's hard to make the good things last

You realize the sun doesn't go down

It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round

Do you realize

That you have the most beautiful face?

Do you realize?
