Can it be true that i'm holdin' you so close to my heart?
Ya know with my eyes wide open i'm dreamin'!
You're here with me now make the vow that we'd never part.
I'm so afraid to close my eyes!
I'm afraid that i'll wake and find that all this dreamin' is just a silly illusion!
With my eyes wide open i'm dreamingdo i deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove i'm awakei can't believe that you're really mine
