Highway to Your Heart

City lights don't exist
on this route to freedom.
For dazzling stars and fireflies
show me the way.

Darkness has no residence;
smiling alone ain't a symptom.
Shadows grow small with every step
as twilight fades away.

With all the care
without the crowds,
with all this love
that's strewn around,
this ought to be...
the highway to your heart.
I've found the highway
straight to your heart.

Twists and turns through mystical mists,
there is no room for boredom.
Waiting arms and seeking eyes,
I search as I sing and say...

With all the care
without the crowds,
with all this love
that's strewn around,
this ought to be...
the highway to your heart.
Yes, this is the highway
right to your heart.

Creamy clouds tread my path,
not a breath they've left un-followed.
And, there's just no way out I realize;
baby I knew that long ago.

With all the care
without the crowds,
with all this love
that's strewn around,
this ought to be...
the highway to your heart.

I'm sailing this highway...
to your heart.
