Lyrics

Lyla

Calling on the stars to fall

And catch the silver sunlight in your hands

Come for me and set me free

Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything

In everyone and you and yours and mine

I waited for a thousand years

For you to come and blow me out my mind

Heyyyyy Lyla

The star’s about to fall -

So what you sayyyy Lyla

The world around us makes me feel so …

Smallll Lyla

If you can hear me call and I can …

Sayyyy Lyla

Heaven can I help you catch me if I … fall

She’s the queen of all I’ve seen

And every song and city far and near

Heaven held my memories still

She ring the bell for all the world to hear

Heyyyyy Lyla

The star’s about to fall -

So what you sayyyy Lyla

The world around us makes me feel so …

Smallll Lyla

If you can hear me call and then I can …

Sayyyy Lyla

Heaven help you catch me if I … fall

Heyyyyy Lyla

The star’s about to fall -

So what you sayyyy Lyla

The world around us makes me feel so …

Smallll Lyla

But you can hear me call and I can …

Sayyyy Lyla

Heaven help you catch me if I … fall
