Lyrics

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
