A place where nobody dared to go The love that we came to know They call it Xanadu And now, open your eyes and see What we have made is real We are in Xanadu An everlasting world And you're here with me, eternally Xanadu, Xanadu (Now we are here) in Xanadu Now that I'm here, now that you're near In Xanadu Xanadu
