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
