Time is like a dream 
And now, for a time, you are mine 
Let's hold fast to the dream 
That tastes and sparkles like wine 
Who knows (who knows) 
If it's real 
Or just something we're both dreaming of 
What seems like an interlude now 
Could be the beginning of love 
Loving you 
Is a world that's strange 
So much more than my heart can hold 
Loving you 
Makes the whole world change 
Loving you, I could not grow old 
No, nobody knows 
When love will end 
So till then, sweet friend...
Time is like a dream 
And now, for a time, you are mine 
Let's hold fast to the dream 
That tastes and sparkles like wine 
Who knows (who knows) 
If it's real 
Or just something we're both dreaming of? 
What seems like an interlude now 
Could be the beginning of love 
What seems like an interlude now 
Could be the beginning of love 
What seems like an interlude now 
Could be the beginning of love
