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.

About “City Of Stars”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "City Of Stars"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature F. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "City Of Stars" by Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone played in?
City Of Stars is arranged in the key of F on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "City Of Stars"?
The arrangement plays at 104 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "City Of Stars" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "City Of Stars"?

Try "A LOVELY NIGHT", "CITY OF STARS", "A Lovely Night (from La La Land)". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "City Of Stars" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature F, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 104 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
