Tekst piosenki
It isn't the way that you look And it isn't the way that you talk It isn't the things that you say or do Make me want you so It is nothing to do with the wine Or the music that's flooding my mind But never before have I been so sure You're the someone I dreamed I would find It's the way you make me feel The moment I am close to you It's a feeling so unreal Somehow I can't believe it's true The pounding I feel in my heart The hoping that we'll never part I can't believe this is really happening to me I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them you're still here I close my eyes and count again I can't believe it but you're still here We were strangers a moment ago With a few dreams but nothing to show The world was a place with a frown on its face And tomorrow was just, I don't know But the way you make me feel The moment I am close to you Makes today seem so unreal Somehow I can't believe it's true Tomorrow, will you still be here? Tomorrow will come but I fear That what is happening to me is only a dream I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them you're still here I close my eyes and count again I can't believe it but you're still here I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them, you're still here
