You brought your pictures of paradise and they looked so real to me
You had the tickets in your right hand and I started to believe
That heaven wasn't so far away and I thought we did get in
We laughed and we played like summer days
But something was missing
How the sun did shine
And the fire burned bright behind our hungry eyes
Our fantasy lives
And in our innocent hearts
But after all, still no Shangri-la
I remember your gentle kiss and the music in your hands
I remember the golden glow on the shores of Canaan Land
Baby we flew way so high we could hear the angels sing
Even now after it all came down
I still wouldn't change a thing
How the sun did shine
And the fire burned bright behind our hungry eyes
Our fantasy lives
And in our innocent hearts
But after all, still no Shangri-la
Sometimes I miss you at night, sometimes I suddenly cry
Sometimes I think it's all right, sometimes I still wonder why
We tried with all of our might, still we had to say good-bye
How the sun did shine
And the fire burned bright behind our hungry eyes
Our fantasy lives
And in our innocent hearts
But after all, still no Shangri-la
Almost felt like it
Shangri-la
Still miss you at night
But it's gonna be all right
Miss you baby
Still no Shangri-la
