We leave the station barely moving

And slowly begin to accelerate

So we raise our glasses for a last time

I don ' t remember what we celebrate

And we said our first hello

On the Orient Express

We got plenty of time to kill

And we sang and danced away

On the Orient Express

To the rhythm of the wheels of steel

I can hear them laughing

In the restaurant

You took me walking down the avenue

So we blow the candles

Make our wishes

How I wonder if they ' re ever coming true

And we said our first hello

On the Orient Express

We got plenty of time to kill

And we sang and danced away

On the Orient Express

To the rhythm of the wheels of steel

We ' re getting closer to

Hundred miles an hour

When I saw a figure standing on the rails

I start to panic as the train ' s approaching

It ' s too late to pull the breaks

And we said our first hello

On the Orient Express

We got plenty of time to kill

And we sang and danced away

On the Orient Express

To the rhythm of the wheels of steel

And we fell in love

On the Orient Express

On this never ending journey home

And we kissed our last goodbye

On the Orient Express

There ' s no turning back along the road
