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
