I was midnight walking and daytime talking
You can see the best in me, I know
I got distracted, you were broken hearted
But I still tried to follow where you'd go

And every time you wish me peace
Or take a joke with perfect ease
Or hear my doubts with sympathy
It's like London comes alive

We both know the river, gets stronger and longer
And crossing it's the hardest thing to plan
You took us together, sister and brother
And brought us safe ashore, where we now stand

Even if you'd one regret, it couldn't spoil the best thing yet
Some special days, our eyes have met
It's like when London comes alive
It's such a surprise

Any time you want, just say
Phone me up and I'll be there
What you need to hear, I'll say
Anything

Every time you wish me peace
Or take a joke with perfect ease
I know you're down on bended knee
To make everything all right
It's like when London comes alive, alive, alive
