City of Stars Lyrics

City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
There's so much that I can't see

Who knows
I felt it from the first embrace
I shared with you
That now our dreams
May finally come true

City of stars
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants

It's love
Yes, all we're looking for is love
From someone else
I rush, I glance, I touch, I dance
I look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world, send it reeling
A voice that says I'll be here
And you'll be alright

I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need
This crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my horns
I think I want it to stay

City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
You'll never shine so brightly
