One day in Lisbon

Woke up with the sunrise in my eyes
Took a tram down to the waterline
Past the tiles and cobblestone
I felt a city I’d never known

Coffee strong on a quiet square
Fado music floating in the air
Golden light on old café signs
One day felt like a lifetime


One day in Lisbon, stole my heart away
With every step, I heard the ocean say
"Stay a little longer, don't rush to go"
In that painted city, my soul found home


Winding up the Alfama hill
Time stood still, the world grew still
Laughed with strangers, danced with fate
Under a sky that never fades

Pastel walls and voices sing
A thousand stories in everything
From castle stones to rivers wide
I left a piece of me behind


One day in Lisbon, stole my heart away
With every step, I heard the ocean say
"Stay a little longer, don't rush to go"
In that painted city, my soul found home

Oh, the sunset knew my name
As it kissed the Tagus flame
And though I had to fly away
Lisbon calls me every day


One day in Lisbon, changed the way I see
The beauty hiding in simplicity
Though I roam, I’m never far
Lisbon lives inside my heart
