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



CHORUS:

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



CHORUS



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



CHORUS



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
