Starlight Express - Andrew Lloyd Webber, “Starlight Express” Original Cast, Lon Satton

RUSTY

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, 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
