City of stars

Are you shinning just for me?

City of stars

There's so much that I can't see

Who knows?

I fell it from the first embrace I shared with you

That now our dreams

They've finally come true

City of stars

Just one thing everybody want

There in the bars

And though the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants

It's love

Yes, all we're looking for is love from some one else

A rush

A glance

A touch

A dance

A look in somebody's eyes

To light up the skies

To open the world and send it reeling

A voice that says, I'll be hear

And you'll be alright

I don't care if I know

Just where I will go

'Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling

A rat-tat-tat on my heart

Think I want that it stays

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

You never shined so brightlly
