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 back 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, Starlight express   are you real, yes or no?   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.
