Milky Way
Madison McFerrin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, how would you like to watch the stars
See how they shine so brightly just for us

It's so nice beside you
I could do this everyday,
Just holding you by my side

'Cause

I, I la, la, la, la, la, la, love you
You, you la, la, la, la, la, la, love you
How 'bout we runaway
To the milky way

Hey, how would you like to float right by Aquarius
Dancing in the deep blue night

There's no earth
Forget mars
Let's chase stars
See how they shine so brightly just for us

'Cause

I, I la, la, la, la, la, la, love you
You, you la, la, la, la, la, la, love you
How 'bout we runaway
To the, to the, to the
Milky way




The milky way
The milky way
