Starlight Express

Andrew Lloyd Webber

When your goodnights 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 gonna stay away tonight



That's when you hear it coming

That is when you hear the humming

Of the midnight train

Here again

Can't explain that midnight train

That midnight train



Starlight express, starlight express

Are you real? Yes or no?

Starlight express, answer me yes

I don't want you to go



Come try to take me away

But bring me back before day

Light and fill the time between

Take me to everywhere

But don't abandon me there

Just want to say I've been



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



And if your there

And if you know

Then show me which way

I should go



Starlight express, starlight express

Are you real? Yes, or no?

Starlight express, answer me yes

I don't want you to go



Starlight express, starlight express

Are you real? Yes, or no?

Starlight express, answer me yes

I need you to be here
