Girl, there are no words to say What I feel in my heart You, you're on my mind night and day And it hurts me when we're apart When you're not here by my side There is nothing in this world for me I guess I'm crazy, crazy for you can't you see And although you may think it's crazy Here is where I want to be I will always need your love Now, I can see every dream When I look in your eyes And though things never are what they seem There is one thing that I realize That there's no doubt in my mind We can make this love go on forever I guess I'm crazy, crazy for you can't you see And although you may think I'm crazy Here is where I'll always be And I need you with me 'cause you are the dream That finally came true for me And all my life there'll be no one else If I looked all my life there could be no one else And for the rest of my life all I need is you
