Lyrics:
The more you see, the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
(cut)
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

one of the best intros in a song ever!
The world needs more songs like this.
I spent my whole childhood listening U2. This song means a lot to me! It's epic!

Me too it has so much meaning to me and i reflect on this song to do with my father who totally admired u2 when he was alive. We have favourites but love all because his voice is mesmorising. Plus he is damn sexy hee. 😍

I wanna wish a Happy early 61st Birthday to U2’s Drummer Larry Mullen Jr
This song represents most strongly music's power to attach itself to a certain moment for me. As soon as it begins, I'm transported back to my childhood, sat driving in the back of a hire car on the streets of cannes on a wonderful evening as the sun sets alongside the endless beach. My brother and sister are sat sleeping either side of me, and my parents are in the front, their smiles beaming back at me. I feel at home, I am privileged to have such memories, and owe them to this glorious song

So *that's* why Bono sings "I'm getting ready to leave the ground" before the choruses.
I watched them in Philly and I have no reason why I felt so emotional when they sang this song. I took a live video of the moment and it’s amazing how music touches you. ❤️❤️
The best U2's song of the 2000's by far.

Nah i think for the sake of defining their 2000s selections...beautiful day set the rest in motion but none did what that one did and where it wound up being used for promos
U2 opened with this on the tour for this album. It was the best opening to any concert I have ever been to over many years.
"What happened to the beauty I have inside of me?" That line really hits me hard.

So true. And you cannot FULLY understand the sentiments of this song until you've reached a certain age or level of maturity. The bliss of youth and the novelty of life has a way of vanishing to the realities of life and time. Bruce Springsteen once wrote (and still sings) "...now I'm ready to grow young again..." (No Surrender).

I wanna wish a Happy early 62nd Birthday to U2’s Lead Guitar David Howell Evans The Edge
Saw them perform this song live a few nights ago. Needless to say, it gave me chills. Love the Edge's guitar tone.

My 2nd favourite song of this century. Awesome job U2! If other songs of 2000's were like this, I would blow up of listening to U2.
I love this song a lot. I used to listen this song a lot back in 2006. It brought me lots of memories and tears.

OMG, IT REMINDS ME OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES "The Devil Wears Prada" they play that song, when Miranda and Andy arrived to Paris. Lovely .....
Listening to this song on Jan 1, 2020. I can’t believe the 2000s will be 20 this decade. I remember the 2000s like they were yesterday and a time were 20 years ago was the 80s. Throughout the 2010s, I had a hard enough time grasping the fact that the 90s was 20 years ago, let alone the 2000s.

When I visited NYC for the first time I went to time square when it was dark and I heard this playing 😍😀
This is my favourite U2 song, and arguably it's also their best (rivalled only by The Unforgettable Fire, I think). Not many bands are capable of releasing such a great song this far advanced in their musical careers.
Great song, I love U2 been a fan for years.
Such an amazing band,they need to go on tour again! ASAP!!!!!
Post-COVID, city lights shall shine brightly again!
I loved this music
This song make me cry and fly...
Magical U2 ....💗
Wish Edge would play that atop my coffee table!! 🔥😍
This might be my favourite U2 song. It's just so good.
perfect song and music to think about life... one of the best songs ever!
I will always remember the U2 concert in Toronto back in july 2011....BEST concert I ever went to! These guys are awesome live!!!!!
This song takes me away. I cried the first time I heard this, which is strange since it's so upbeat. The words make me think of someone I wish was still in my life. The beauty of it is just unreal though!!!
Thank you for producing amazing music
One of the Best songs ever :)
this and the intro to Where The Street Have No Name...magic!
My favorite U2 song. This is the one that really got me turned on to U2 ... love it even these many years later

7 anos voltando aqui sempre 💚
what an amazing song..... this song makes me feel blessed for being alive and listening to it.....
Amo esta canción 😍 💕
This song reminds me of the lovely times my husband and I shared in the early days of our courtship. Infact it always reminds me of my husband.
This was my soundtrack as a fresh faced, 18 year old, country bumpkin living in London for the first time. It had just come out and it gave me strength being away from home for the first time.
A perfect song for a casual midnight hike/stroll through the city.
I listen to this song every time I drive into Boston 🏙🌆🌇🌌🌃🌠🍀☘️

One of U2's best. Hugely underrated track.
great lyrics! The best track on the album!! one of the best at all!!
Miranda and Andrea in my beloved Paris.😍
Reminded me of old friend.,..
Yes! Entourage. I'd never heard this song until I saw that episode. Great song.
M I'm still listening mate...U2 have evolved into an amazing band....all the time I have breath in my body...I will never tire of listening...God bless all & your families.

I was given this album when I was 7. Immediately started listening to it and fell in love with this song. Never realised that 4 four years later it would be used by the man who became the 44th President of the United States. A sense of foreshadowing :)

Una delle canzoni più spettacolari degli U2, li seguo ormai da anni e ho ascoltato ogni loro canzone e a mio parere sono una più bella dell' altra, davvero.
I couldn't stop listening to this song! :)
My favourite music. When i listen i feel freedom. Luckily...
Amazing! I love this song!!
Para mi gusto el mejor disco que ha sacado la gran banda U2.
Brazil. Love it!
