City of stars
Are you shining just for me
City of stars
There's so much that I can't see
Who knows
Is this the start of something
wonderful and new
Or one more dream
that I cannot make true
Barefoot she smiled
And leapt without looking
And tumbled into the Seine
The water was freezing
She spent a month sneezing
But said she would do it again
Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make
She told me
A bit of madness is key
To give us new colors to see
Who knows where it will lead us
And that's why they need us
So bring on the rebels
The ripples from pebbles
The painters and poets and plays
And here's to the fools who dream
Crazy as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that break
Here's to the mess we make
City of stars
Are you shining just for me
City of stars
You never shined so brightly
