I've never known someone before Who feels the way you do All my dreams somehow became true with you And I've never wanted someone more As much as I want you Love will last forever it's true with you I will always fear awaking in the night And not having you by my side It's not a dream We all need love and understanding We must break thru And make a love that's everlasting We'll be as one/I can see it in your eyes When I looked at him and he turned to me He said you're more than a friend to love to need When I looked at him it's love eternally They say I should be acting cool They tell me I'm a fool They don't see the things I see in you Don't say good-bye/It would tear in two my heart The time is right/We could never be apart We'll be as one I can see it in your eyes When I looked at him and he turned to me He said you're more than a friend to love to need When I looked at him it's love eternally It's not a dream We all need love and understanding We must break thru And make a love that's everlasting We'll be as one/I can see it in your eyes When I looked at him and he turned to me He said you're more than a friend to love to need When I looked at him it's love eternally
