Lyrics

Cit y of stars,

are you (C7)shin ing just for (Dm)me?

(Gm)Cit y of stars,

there’s so (C7)much that I can’t (F)see.

Who (Gm)knows?

I felt it (C7)from the first em (Am)brace I shared with (Adim)you

that (Gm)now our (A7)dreams may fi n’lly come (Dm)true.

(Gm)Cit y of stars,

just one thing (C7)ev ’ry bod y (Dm)wants,

(Gm)there in the bars

and through the (C7)smoke screen of the (F)crowd ed res tau rants:

it’s (Gm)love.

Yes, all we’re (C7)look ing for is (Am)love from some one (Adim)else.

A (Gm)rush, a glance, a (A7)touch, a dance.

A (Bb)look in some bod y’s eyes to light up the skies, to o pen the world and send it reel ing.

A (Bb)voice that says, “I’ll be here, and you’ll be al right.”

(Bb)I don’t care if I know just where I will go, ’cause all that I need’s this cra zy feel ing, a (A7)rat tat tat on my heart...

Think I want it to (Dm)stay.

(Gm)Cit y of stars,

are you shin ing just for (F)me?

(Gm)Cit y of stars,

you nev er shined so bright ly.
