Star of Rio Lyrics

I've been looking for a place to retreat
Put a smile on my face and some shoes on my feet
Tend to overlook what i've been through
Lived a life in the sun now the damage is you

'Cause it goes round round round
Round round round
The sun goes down down
Down down down

Shining alone
My star of Rio
Driving along the moonlit sands
Shining alone
And all I feel
Slipping like pearls
Right through my hands
Shining alone
My star of Rio
You'll always light my empty skies
Although you're gone
I still can feel
You're always there and for tonight
You will be my guiding light
'Cause my Rio she's a riddle

When I look into your turquoise eyes
There's no doubt in my mind, I'll be safe 'till I die
Turning every coin that I ever earned
Just to be with you, hope you want me too...

Cause she's a real go-getter
She's got a lot at stake
She's a desperate woman
She'll always win you over when no one else will be there

'Cause it goes round round round
Round round round
The sun goes down down
Down down down

Shining alone
My star of Rio
Driving along the moonlit sands
Shining alone
And all I feel
Slipping like pearls
Right through my hands
Shining alone
My star of Rio
You'll always light my empty skies
Although you're gone
I still can feel
You're always there and for tonight
You will be my guiding light
'Cause my Rio she's a riddle
