Star of Rio - The Night Flight Orchestra

I’ve been looking for a place to retreat

Put a smile on my face and some shoes on my feet

Tend to overlook what i’ve been through

Lived a life in the sun now the damage is you

'Cause it goes round round round

Round round round

The sun goes down down

Down down down

Shining alone

My star of Rio

Driving along the moonlit sands

Shining alone

And all I feel

Slipping like pearls

Right through my hands

Shining alone

My star of Rio

You’ll always light my empty skies

Although you’re gone

I still can feel

You’re always there and for tonight

You will be my guiding light

'Cause my Rio she’s a riddle

When I look into your turquoise eyes

There’s no doubt in my mind, I’ll be safe 'till I die

Turning every coin that I ever earned

Just to be with you, hope you want me too…

Cause she’s a real go-getter

She’s got a lot at stake

She’s a desperate woman

She’ll always win you over when no one else will be there

'Cause it goes round round round

Round round round

The sun goes down down

Down down down

Shining alone

My star of Rio

Driving along the moonlit sands

Shining alone

And all I feel

Slipping like pearls

Right through my hands

Shining alone

My star of Rio

You’ll always light my empty skies

Although you’re gone

I still can feel

You’re always there and for tonight

You will be my guiding light

'Cause my Rio she’s a riddle
