[Verse 1]
I'm walking in the city tonight
I'm walking in the city at dark
Remembering, remember light
Thinking of nothing and the shooting stars
And this world tonight is mine
A world to be remembered in
Think on a faded photograph
My hair longer than it's ever been
[Chorus]
The sky lit up
The sky, my friend
The sky lit up
And I'm lighter than I ever been
[Verse 2]
I saw the trees crossing the moon
I saw the stars in the heaven above
Shine on my own beautiful prayer
Shining on my own beautiful love
[Chorus]
The sky lit up
The sky, my friend
The sky lit up
And I'm lighter than I ever been
[Verse 3]
And I'm dancing with him
In this city and in this town
I don't care what he's thinking of
Just take the car, just take my hand
[Outro]
The sky lit up
The sky lit up
The sky lit up
The sky lit up
