Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Call for me to set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me off my mind

Hey Lyla
The stars about to fall
So what you say Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so
Small Lyla
If you can't hear me call
Then I can't say Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven help my mademoiselle
She rings the bell for all the world to hear

Hey Lyla
The stars about to fall
So what you say Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so
Small Lyla
If you can't hear me call
Then I can't say Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

Hey Lyla
The stars about to fall
So what you say Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so
Small Lyla
If you can't hear me call
Then I can't say Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I fall

Hey Lyla
Hey Lyla
Hey Lyla
Hey Lyla

    General Comment:because this song is different from Oasis usual work, it doesn't mean that it is bad. i mean, it isn't forbidden to walk away from their own style for a little bit... i understood this song as mostly a love song.. is this why Oasis fans can't find the beauty in this song ?

    General Comment:A great sing-a-long song. "Hey!!...Lyla!!" Everytime I hear this song I cant but help sing that line. Another top oasis song, one of my favourites from DBTT.

    General Comment:This song is not as bad as people are saying, but it's certainly not one of Oasis' best. The new album is actually pretty good and "A Bell Will Ring", "Keep the Dream Alive", "Let There Be Love", "Turn Up the Sun", and "Love Like a Bomb" are all better than this song.

    General Comment:I love Oasis but they need another album that is different than the same pop songs they have been writing. Radiohead blows Oasis away too with almost every song.
