Sri-Lanka, you are my Shangri-La
Hidden in the sun
Recalling the land of my roots
When my life began.
Sri-Lanka, you are my Shangri-La
From this moment on
Take me away in dreams to the
Place I've been born
Recall all my memories
That nearly have been gone
I say hey (Hey!)
This place I wanna stay
Me and my baby
I'm sure I don't mean maybe today.
I say oh! (oh!)
Wish all my old friens would know
I'm almost in heaven
Sri-Lanka so don't let me go oh no.
Sri-Lanka I'll speak your sinala
From this moment on
And let me keep pretending you're the isle
Where I've been born
Secret paradise
For dreamers like me on the run
I say hey! (Hey!)
This is the place I wanna stay
Me and my baby
I'm sure I don't mean maybe today
I say oh! (Oh!)
Wish all my old friens would know
I'm always in heaven
Sri-Lanka, so don't let me go, oh no
Hidden in the sun
Recalling the land of my roots
When my life began.
Sri-Lanka, you are my Shangri-La
From this moment on
Take me away in dreams to the
Place I've been born
Recall all my memories
That nearly have been gone
I say hey (Hey!)
This place I wanna stay
Me and my baby
I'm sure I don't mean maybe today.
I say oh! (oh!)
Wish all my old friens would know
I'm almost in heaven
Sri-Lanka so don't let me go oh no.
Sri-Lanka I'll speak your sinala
From this moment on
And let me keep pretending you're the isle
Where I've been born
Secret paradise
For dreamers like me on the run
I say hey! (Hey!)

I'm sure I don't mean maybe today
I say oh! (Oh!)

I'm always in heaven
Sri-Lanka, so don't let me go, oh no
