Song lyrics
And if I had a clue
I'd know exactly what to do
If I were the wiser of the two
And if I saw it all so clear
I'd write it down and bend your ear
If I were the clearer of the two
We could take a walk into the
Canyons of 5th avenue
Sing and dance
Just to name a few
All I do
All I do
And if I heard the angels sing
I'd sing it back to you and bring
Sound of heaven ringing just for you
And if I saw the sun fall down
I'd pick it up and make a crown
One that was a perfect fit for you
We could take a walk
Into the apple orchard by the school
We could make a little residue
We could find a place to stay
A secret little hideaway
Spend a little time inside of you
All I do
All I do
All eyes
All eyes
All eyes on you
All I do
All I do
All I do
All I do
