Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.

I think about that day,
I left him at a grayhouse station
West of Santa Fe.

We were seventeen,
But he was sweet and it was true.
Still I did what I had to do.
'Cause I just knew.

Summer Sunday nights,
We'd sink into our seats
Right as they dimmed out all the lights
A technicolor world
Made out of music and machine
It called me to be on that screen,
And live inside each scene.

Without a nickel to my name,
Hopped a bus and here I came,
'Could be brave or just insane,
We'll have to see.

'Cause maybe in that sleepy town,
He'll sit one day,
The lights are down,
And see my face and think about how he used to know me.

Behind these hills I'm reaching for the heights,
And chasing all the lights that shine.
And when they let you down,
You'll get up off the ground,
'Cause when morning rolls around,
It's another day of sun.

I hear 'em ev'ry day,
The rhythms in the canyons that will never fade away,
The ballads in the ballrooms
Left by those who came before
They say,
"You gotta want it more"
So, I bang on every door.

And even when the answers no,
And when my money's running low,
The dusty mic and neon glow,
Are all I need.

And someday as I sing my song,
Some small-town kid'll come along,
That'll be the thing to push him on and go go.

Behind these hills I'm reaching for the heights,
And chasing all the lights that shine.
And when they let you down,
You'll get up off the ground,
'Cause when morning rolls around,
It's another day of sun.

[Instrumental Break]

And when they let you down,
The morning rolls around.

'Cause it's another day of sun,
It's another day of sun,
It's another day of sun,
It's another day of sun,
Just another day of sun,
It's another day of sun,
Another day has just begun,
It's another day of-

[Cars honking]

It's another day of sun!

Hey ya'll, Kat here!
This is a very atypical "story," but bear with me! I'm a HUGE musical theater nerd, and I'm obsessed with this soundtrack. And guess what, if we can get this to 100 views and/or 25 votes, I'll start writing City of Stars, a sequel fanfiction to La La Land.
Alert all other La La Land fanatics!!
*hugs* Kat

{Updated update}
*scream!* Ya'll it's finally here! You can find my sequel to La La Land, City of Stars, on my page! Thanks for the support!
*hugs* Kat
(P. S. It's mature for some language, just like La La Land)
