LYRICS 

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
(It takes your breath and it'll leave you blind)
And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
(A dream of it we offer you)
A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu (Xanadu)
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine for you, Xanadu
The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
(With every breath you drift away)
The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
(The dream you dream, well, it will happen for you)
A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu (Xanadu)
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu (Xanadu)
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Now that I'm here
Now that you're near in Xanadu
Xanadu!

LYRICS  only dreamed that I would find A loving heart, an open mind to see the real me And I hoped that you would be the one A chance to talk, a chance to grow I'll take the risk, let my feelings flow I've found the words I need to say Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Now I know that you are mine You bring me your love and peace of mind You see the real me and I know that you're the key Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly, awkwardly You're all I want, all I need you to be Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Just you,
