IVE PLAYED THE BLUES IN THE CELLARS OF PARIS
DREAMT LIKE A GYPSY IN ROME
LOVED ALL NIGHT LONG IN VENICE
SO WHERE NOW DO I CALL MY HOME

WILL YOU BUILD ME A FORTRESS
OR WRAP ME IN THE COMFORT OF YOU
PLACE ME IN THE LOVE OF OUR MEMORIES
EVEN IF ITS JUST FOR A MOMENT OR TWO
​
BELLA BELLA STARLIGHT

DANCED ALL NIGHT LONG IN PRAGUE
WHISPERED THROUGH THE LOVES OF LONDON

Runnin' on A Rainbow
​
LET ME FALL INTO YOUR RAINBOW
LINED WITH SILVER AND GOLD
EVERY COLOR EVERY SIGN
IS WHAT I CHOOSE TO HOLD
AND WHEN THE NIGHT SHINES
THESE STARS OF MINE WILL BE
DANCING THROUGH OUR DREAMS
AND ILL BE RUNNING ON A RAINBOW
WITH THIS LOVE OF MINE
​
IM FLOATING ON CLOUDS AND
TIPTOEING THROUGH THE SKY
IM FEELING THE RAIN AND
ILL BE WAITING TO SHINE
AND WHEN THOSE STORMY SEAS
WHEN THEY FALL INTO ME
ILL BE AWAITING YOU
LIKE A LOVE LIKE A LOVER IN THE NIGHT
(INSTRUMENTALS)
AND WHEN THOSE NIGHTS SHINE
THESE STARS OF MINE
WILL BE DANCING THROUGH OUR DREAMS
AND WHEN THE WORLD GROWS OLD
ILL STILL HAVE YOU TO HOLD
FROM THE BREATH OF THE SKY
AND ILL BE RUNNING (YES I WILL)
AND ILL BE RUNNING (YES WE CAN)
THROUGH THIS LOVE OF MINE
