Well, now what

the hell do we do, huh?

- Answer that, muse!

- I don't know

I'm sorry. It just never

should have happened

- Well, it did

- I love you, Sonny

Kira

I'll love you forever

I will

I'll love you forever

Kira! Wait!

I'll love you forever

Hey, painter! I've been

lookin' for you. Where you been?

- Here

- Well, how do I look?

Aren't you gonna say

anything about my new threads?

Hubba, hubba

Well, uh we're gonna

miss you tonight

- It won't be any fun without you

- I told you

I can't go

Xanadu doesn't matter any more

What do you mean it doesn't matter?

How can it not matter?

This was our dream.

Well, well, wasn't it?

There's no Xanadu

'cause there's no Kira

- She made it real

- So find her!

Bring her back!

- Dreams die

- No

No, no, no. Not by

themselves. We. We kill them

Now, if you give up,

you'll be sitting on that rock

30 years from now

just like I was

I know how you feel, kid.

I felt the same way once I did

I didn't know

how important love is

But let me

tell you something

Somehow, somewhere,

there's a way to get her!

If she got here, there's

a way to get there

Believe me, kid,

it's up to you

It's-It's up to you

I see the early glow

I hear you say hello

I watch the shadows fall

I don't see you at all

- It's a lie

- Don't believe it's so

It's a lie

I see the autumn rain

Falling on my window pane

I hear you say goodbye

I see a tear in your eye

- It's a lie

- Don't believe it's so

It's a lie

Our love couldn't go wrong

How could I know

I was only dreaming

And now... Now that you're gone

I will go on really believing

I'll take the fall

I'll take the fall

I see you in a dream

You turn and start to go

I call to you once more

Guess that I'm takin' the fall

- It's a lie

- Don't believe it's so

It's a lie

Our love couldn't go wrong

How could I know

I was only dreaming

And now now that you're gone

I will go on really believing

I'll take the fall

Kira

Sonny. How d id you get here?

You didn't think I'd let you

get away from me, did you?

- You'll have to go back

- Okay, I'm ready. Let's go

I can't go with you

But you have to get

out before it's too late

Too late for what?

Oh, please, you took

a big chance coming here

What's going on here?

I'm taking you back with me, Kira

It can't be done. Nobody's

ever taken anyone out of here

Not in the whole history

of the whole history

I'll make 'em let you go.

Hey, Zeus!

- Zeus, you hear me?

- Oh, God

I wanna talk to you

We don't use those

old-fashioned names any more

In any case, it's me

you want to speak to

I've come to get Kira

She's not leaving!

It's impossible!

- That's what you think

- That's what you think

How'd you know

I was gonna say that?

I'm a good guesser

What else do you know?

- Everything

- All right, then. You know this

I'm sticking to this place

till hell freezes over

Sonny!

You'll leave now and

you'll leave without Kira!

- Why?

- Because other people have dreams

So send another muse You got muses

running around all over the place

One dream, one muse

Wait. Wait a minute.

Just listen to me, okay?

Kira and I love each other

Now I don't know how often

that happens in this kind of place

but back on earth,

it's pretty rare

- We need to be together

- All right, that's enough

You're leaving Kira's staying.

No more discussions

Those are the rules and

that's all there is to it

On the other hand, dear,

rules were made to be broken

We'll talk about that later

Which is later and earlier?

- I keep forgetting

- Just a minute!

Isn't anyone interested

in my feelings?

What do you mean, "feelings"?

Oh, you remember, pet.

We learned about feelings

- in our mortal history class

- Yes, feelings

I guess that's what you call 'em.

I've never really had them before

I've never felt this way

about anyone before

And I've never asked

to leave here. Not ever

Not once in the whole

time. I've been here

It's true, dear, she hasn't.

Not in all these centuries

Or is it minutes?

I do keep mixing them up

Please, can't we just have

this one night? Just one night?

No, no, it's just not possible.

Goodbye, Sonny Malone

- Hey, Kira?

- Just one moment

Goodbye, Sonny

Kira!

A child and a fool in one

So sure I could need no one

My heart always on

the run to nowhere

Now as you're holding me

My heart is reminding me

That now I could never be

Without you

But how can our love succeed

A miracle is what we need

And so I appeal to you

To keep me suspended

in time with you

Don't let this moment die

I get a feeling when

I'm with you

None of the rules apply

But I know for certain

goodbye is a crime

So, love, if you need me

suspend me in time

Ahhh

Wasted the time away

Holding our love at bay

Now I can't last a day

Without you

Your smile is a thrill to see

Your eyes hold me tenderly

They'll shine in

my memory forever

But how can our love succeed

A miracle is what we need

And so I appeal to you

To keep me suspended

in time with you

Don't let this moment die

I get a feeling when

I'm with you

None of the rules apply

But I know for certain

goodbye is a crime

So, love, if you need me

suspend me in time

In time

Maybe just one moment, darling

Well, maybe just one moment

or forever

I keep getting them mixed up too

All right, everybody, let's skate!

Let's skate!

Everybody! Come on!

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

I don't even know yet

U- U-Up!

Hey!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Xanadu!

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

A place

Where nobody dared to go

The love that we came to know

They call it Xanadu

It takes your breath

and it'll leave you blind

And now

Open your eyes and see

What we have made is real

We are in Xanadu

A dream of it we offer you

A million lights are dancing

And there you are

a shooting star

An everlasting love

And you're here

with me eternally

Xanadu

Xanadu

- Now we are here

- In Xanadu

Xanadu

Xanadu

- Now we are here

- In Xanadu

Xanadu

Your neon lights will shine

For you in Xanadu

The love

The echoes of long ago

You needed the world to know

They are in Xanadu

With every breath you drift away

The dream

That came through

a million years

That lived on

through all the tears

It came to Xanadu

The dream you dream

Well, it will happen for you

A million lights are dancing

And there you are

a shooting star

An everlasting love

And you're here

with me eternally

Xanadu

Xanadu

- Now we are here... Xanadu

- In Xanadu

Xanadu

Xanadu

Now we are here

In Xanadu

Xanadu, Xanadu

Now that I'm here

Now that you're near

In Xanadu

Now that I'm here

Now that you're near

In Xanadu

Way to go!

Fool

Whatever you do

you're reminded

Fool

Wherever you go

you won't find it

I'm really down on love

so save all your smiles

Ooo, I won't be needin'

any love for a while

I'm really down on love

so save all your smiles

Ooo, I won't be needin'
