LYRICS
******
Calling all the stars to fall
and catch the silver sunlight in your hands
cover me and set me free
lift me up and take me where i stand
she believes in everything
and everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
for you to come and blow me out my mind
HEY LYLA!!!
The stars about to fall
so what you sayyyyyy
LYLA!!!
The world around us makes me feel SO small
LYLA!!!
If you can't hear me call then I can't
sayyyyyy
LYLA!!!
heaven 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 help my mademoiselle
she ring the bell
from Rome for all to hear
HEY LYLA!!!
The stars about to fall
so what you sayyyyyy
LYLA!!!
The world around us makes me feel SO small
LYLA!!!
If you can't hear me call then I can't
sayyyyyy
LYLA!!!
heaven help you catch me if I FALL
HEY LYLA!!!
The stars about to fall
so what you sayyyyyy
LYLA!!!
The world around us makes me feel SO small
LYLA!!!
If you can't hear me call then I can't
sayyyyyy
LYLA!!!
heaven help you catch me when I FALL
HEYYYY
Lyla!!!
Heyyyy
Lyla!!!
Heyyyy
Lyla!!!
Heyyyy
Lyla...
