rush22112 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN: A place where nobody dared to go The love that we came to know They call it Xanadu And now Open your eyes and see What we have made is real We are in Xanadu A million lights are dancing And there you are A shooting star An everlasting world And you're here with me Eternally Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) In Xanadu Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) In Xanadu Xanadu, your neon lights will shine For you, Xanadu The love The echoes of long ago You needed the world to know They are in Xanadu The dream That came through a million years That lived on through all the tears It came to Xanadu A million lights are dancing And there you are A shooting star An everlasting world And you're here with me Eternally Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) In Xanadu Xanadu, Xanadu, (now we are here) In Xanadu Now that I'm here Now that you're near in Xanadu Now that I'm here Now that you're near in Xanadu Xanadu... Xanadu RUSH ["To seek the sacred river Alph To walk the caves of ice To break my fast on honeydew And drink the milk of Paradise..."] I had heard the whispered tales of immortality The deepest mystery From an ancient book I took a clue I scaled the frozen mountain tops Of eastern lands unknown Time and Man alone Searching for the lost Xanadu Xanadu... To stand within the Pleasure Dome Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste anew the fruits of life The last immortal man To find the sacred river Alph To walk the caves of ice Oh, I will dine on honeydew And drink the milk of Paradise A thousand years have come and gone But time has passed me by Stars stopped in the sky Frozen in an everlasting view Waiting for the world to end Weary of the night Praying for the light Prison of the lost Xanadu Xanadu... Held within the Pleasure Dome Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste my bitter triumph As a mad immortal man Nevermore shall I return Escape these caves of ice For I have dined on honeydew And drunk the milk of Paradise Woah Paradise! RUSH's versions..hands down the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
