[Intro: Chris Martin & Brian Eno]

Two, three, four

That's a bit fast

One, two, three

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]

They were sittin', they were sittin'

On the strawberry swing

Every moment was so precious

They were sittin', they were talkin'

On the strawberry swing

Everybody was for fightin'

Wouldn't wanna waste a thing

[Chorus: Chris Martin]

Cold, cold water, bring me 'round

Now my feet won't touch the ground

Cold, cold water, what you say?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]

I remember, we were walkin'

Up to strawberry swing

I can't wait till the mornin'

Wouldn't wanna change a thing

[Chorus: Chris Martin]

People movin' all the time

Inside a perfectly straight line

Don't you wanna just curve away?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day

[Outro: Chris Martin]

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind

Without you, it's a waste of time

Could be blue, I don't mind

Without you, it's a waste of time

Well, the sky could be blue, could be grey

Without you, I'm just miles away

Well, the sky could be blue, I don't mind

Without you, it's a waste of time
