Lyrics

Cit y of stars,

are you shin ing just for me?

Cit y of stars,

there’s so much that I can see.

Who knows?

I felt it from the first em brace I shared with you

that now

our

dreams may fi n’lly come true.

Cit y of stars,

just one thing ev ’ry bod y wants,

there in the bars

and through the smoke screen of the crowd ed res tau rants:

it’s love.

Yes, all we’re look ing for is love from some one else.

A rush, a glance, a touch, a dance.

A look in some bod y’s eyes

to light up the skies,

to o pen the world and send it reel ing.

A voice that says, “I’ll be here,

and you’ll be al right.”

I don’t care if I know

just where I will go,

’cause all that I need’s this cra zy feel ing, a rat tat tat on my heart...

Think I want it to stay.

Cit y of stars,

are you shin ing just for me?

Cit y of stars,

you nev er shined so bright ly.

City Of Stars by Lynda Lybeck-Robinson — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “City Of Stars” by Lynda Lybeck-Robinson in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 96 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
