The love that we came to know
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
They call it Xanadu
And now, open your eyes and see
And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
We are in Xanadu


An everlasting world
An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally
And you're here with me, eternally


Xanadu, Xanadu
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here) in Xanadu
(Now we are here) in Xanadu


Now that I'm here, now that you're near
Now that I'm here
In Xanadu
Now that you're near in Xanadu, Xanadu</pre>
