OUR PERSONAL OPINION OF THIS ARTIST:

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’ LYRICS:

(Chorus) Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights people, living just to find emotion

Hiding, somewhere in the night.

DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’ LYRICS:

Working hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill

Payin' anything to roll the dice, Just one more time

Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues

Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on

DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’ LYRICS:

(Chorus)

Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlights people

DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’ LYRICS:

Don't stop believin' Hold on to that fellin’

Streetlight people

Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin'

Streetlights people
