“The NeverEnding Story” is the end theme of the 1984 film The Neverending Story. The film is, in turn, an adaptation of the novel Die unendliche Geschichte (1979) by Michael Ende.

[Verse 1: Limahl]
Turn around
Look at what you see
In her face
The mirror of your dreams
[Chorus: Limahl & Beth Andersen]
Make believe I'm everywhere
I'm hidden in the lines
Written on the pages
Is the answer to a never-ending story
(Ah)
[Verse 2: Limahl]
Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be
[Chorus: Limahl and Beth Andersen]
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow

(Ah)
Story
(Ah)
[Verse 3: Limahl]
Show no fear
For she may fade away
In your hand
The birth of a new day
[Chorus: Beth Andersen]
Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon a rainbow
Is the answer to a never-ending story
Ah
[Coda: Limahl and Beth Andersen]
Never-ending story
(Ah)
Never-ending story
(Ah)
Never-ending story
(Ah)
