When the night is darkest, open up your mind

Dream begins, it's becoming clearer

Listen to the distant, listen and you'll find

A midnight train is getting nearer

Starlight Express, Starlight Express

Are you real? Yes or no?

Starlight Express, answer me yes

I don't want you to go

Take me to the places I have never been

Bring me home safely before I wake up

'Cause I believe in you completely, though you may be unseen

This is not the kind of thing that anyone can make up

Starlight Express, Starlight Express

Are you real? Yes or no?

Starlight Express, please answer me yes

I don't want you to go

You're in need of bigger world to help you

Don't go on worrying deep inside

Starlight Express, Starlight Express

Are you real? Yes or no?

Starlight Express, please answer me yes

I don't want you to go

My Starlight Express, please answer me yes

I don't want you to go
