City Of Stars
Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
There's so much that I can't see
Who knows?
I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you
That now our dreams
They've finally come true
City of stars
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
It's love
Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else
A rush
A glance
A touch
A dance
A look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says, I'll be here
And you'll be alright
I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart
Think I want it to stay
City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
You never shined so brightly

City of stars
The place where dreams come true
Are you shining just for me?
Do my dreams finally come true?
There's so much that I can't see
The future is still uncertain
Who knows?
Anything can happen
I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you
I knew we were meant to be together from the start
That now our dreams
Our dreams
They've finally come true
Are finally coming true
Just one thing everybody wants
Everyone wants one thing
There in the bars
In the bars
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
In the midst of chaos
It's love
It's love
Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else
All we really want is to be loved by another person
A rush
The feeling of excitement
A glance
A quick look
A touch
A caress
A dance
A moment of connection
A look in somebody's eyes
The look in another person's eyes
To light up the skies
To brighten up the world
To open the world and send it reeling
To transform the world around us
A voice that says, I'll be here
Someone reassuring us that they'll always be there for us
And you'll be alright
That everything will be okay
I don't care if I know
I'm not concerned with certainty
Just where I will go
As long as I have this feeling, I don't need to know where I'm going
'Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling
All I really need is this intense emotion
A rat-tat-tat on my heart
The sound of my heart pounding
Think I want it to stay
I want this feeling to last forever
You never shined so brightly
I've never felt this way before

Sorry to hear all the sad stories. My girlfriend and I watched this movie together online while we were 8500 miles away from each other back in 2016. We kept our belief and hope through long distance relationships. Magically, we made it out to our wedding after 4 years falling in love. Now, she is my spouse and mother of my son. We still got a special feeling for this song. Hope you are all strong believers!
