Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you good nights have been said
And you are lying in bed
With the covers pulled up tight
And though you count every sheep
You get the feeling that sleep
Is going to stay away tonight
[Verse 2]
That's when you hear it coming
That is when you hear the humming of the
Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
[Verse 3]
Want you to take me away
But bring me back before daylight
And bill the time between
Take me to everywhere
But don't abandon me there
Just want to say I've been
[Verse 4]
I believe in you, completely
Though I may be dreaming sweetly of the
Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
[Verse 5]
And if you're there
And if you know
Then show me which way I should go
[Verse 6]
Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real, yes or no?
Starlight Express, please, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
[Verse 7]
Starlight Express, Starlight Express
Are you real? Are you near?
Starlight Express, answer me yes
I need you to be here
