Xanadu - Xanadu Soundtrack Version Lyrics
Olivia Newton-John Feat. Electric Light Orchestra
Lyrics
A Place where nobody dared to go,
The love that we came to know,
They call it Xanadu
And now open your eyes and see,
What we have made is real,
We are in Xanadu
A Million Lights are dancing
and there you are a Shooting star
An everlasting Love and you're here with me Eternally
Xanadu
Xanadu
Xanadu
Xanadu
Xanadu
Xanadu
In Xanadu, Xanadu your Neon Lights will shine
For you Xanadu
The Love the echos of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
The Dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
A million lights are dancing and there you are a superstar
An everlasting love and you're here with me eternally
Xanadu
Xanadu
(now we are here)
Xanadu
Xanadu
Xanadu
(now we are here)
Xanadu
Now that I'm here,
Now that you're near
Xanadu
Now that I'm here,
Now that you're near
Xanadu
Xanadu
End
