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 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 Want you to take me away But bring me home before daylight And in 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, answer me yes I don't want you to go And if you're 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
