[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it goes round round round
Round round round
The sun goes down down
Down down down

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it goes round round round
Round round round
The sun goes down down
Down down down

[Chorus]
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
