Rusty: When your goodnights 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, you must confess

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, why must I guess

Are you real, yes or no

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, are you near

Starlight Express, answer me yes

Ｉ need you to be here
