Song Lyrics

When your 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 gonna stay away tonight

That's when you hear it coming
That is when you hear the humming
Of the midnight train
Here again
Can't explain that midnight train
That midnight train

Starlight express, starlight express
Are you real? Yes or no?
Starlight express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go

Come try to take me away
But bring me back before day
Light and fill 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 your 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

Starlight express, starlight express
Are you real? Yes, or no?
Starlight express, answer me yes
I need you to be here

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Richard Stilgoe
