when I should be asleep

when I should be asleep
I dream of you
when I have dates to keep
I run for you
when all the world is on their track
and they tell me I can't go back
I believe every word is true
and still I sing to you

when all the people pray
I pray to you
when all the children play
I play for you
when everything is said and done
I believe we have just begun
and every little thing I do
I still do it for you

there is no end
to a love this true
call me mad
I don't care
what the world may do

there is no end
they don't have a clue
if they think
love stops
they've never loved you

when I should be asleep
I dream of you
when I'm in too deep
I'm in it for you
when all the world calls sweet success
a way to buy their happiness
I believe every word is true
and still I sing to you

when all the people dance
I dance for you
when true lovers romance
I think of you
when everything is tried and through
I believe we are something new
and every little thing I do
I still do it for you

there is no end
to a love this true
call me mad
I don't care
what the world may do

there is no end
they don't have a clue
if they think
love stops
they've never loved you

and in the end there is no end to love in me for you
and in the end there is no end to love that is so true
and in the end there is no end to this dream of you
and in the end there is no end to everything I do
I still do it all for you
all for you
all for you

when I should be asleep
I dream of you

magic

it might be magic
something no words can explain
a comfort and pleasure
a hunger so strong it becomes pain
when not satisfied
you can try to hide
but the look in your eyes
says it can not be denied

it might be magic
something no fingers can touch
a peace and a passion
desire so strong it becomes rage
when taken away
whatever you say
the look in your eyes
says come what may

you will live and die to be near the one
who inspires this fever in you
it might be magic
but all you know
is it is the best you can do

and there is no end when you fall in love
there is no choice left for you
but to devote your life
to share everything
with the one who makes your dreams come true

it might be magic
something that seems yours alone
as if you were incomplete
as if you had never known

it might be magic
something out of the blue
the answer to all of your prayers
someone you want to pray to

you will live and die to be near the one
who inspires this fever in you
it might be magic
but all you know
is it is the best you can do

and there is no end when you fall in love
there is no choice left for you
but to devote your life
to share everything
with the one who makes your dreams come true

and it might be magic
but it becomes everything you do
it might be magic
but it's dreams coming true
it might be magic
for me, it's you
it might be magic
for me, it's you
it might be magic
for me, it's you

and I adore you

and I adore you
I am here for you
I say it again as if you never knew
everything I do is about loving you

but there was a time when I sang this song to the world
and I sing it again because maybe someone can relate
too often love is met with anger and fingers curled
it doesn't have to be that way, it is not to late
this is a song from the time all I did was
sit around and wait

time seems to stand still when I sit lonely
longing for someone to love
everyone knows the feeling but no one knows mine
what I'm dreaming of

and it doesn't matter if everyone was the same
I can not touch what you are feeling inside
and you can not really comprehend mine
so why would you want me to hide

does it make you feel uncomfortable
to see someone so vulnerable
is my hunger to love and be loved
something you don't like?

would you rather I go to church or somewhere else
so you can put your feelings back up on the shelf
let's make a deal, I won't tell you what to do
and you can ignore me as I ignore you

we all have our reasons to live
and mine is to love and be loved
that's all I want from this life
and I hope you find all you dream of

maybe if you do you will understand
all I had to do was hold out my hand
and suddenly someone was standing there
to make all the loneliness disappear

and everything changed because I opened my eyes
I saw through my fears and doubts - they were based on lies
the human weakness that is so revered in this world
is the source of the anger and the fingers curled

love makes you strong
if you want to be strong
but if you don't
you won't

then this next thought crossed my mind
I can leave the world behind
and live exactly as I want to be
for I believe in love and love is free

and that's when my love came to me
and now my love is all I want to see
if that makes me blind then blind I shall be
but I'll leave this song for you or posterity
and I am happy singing these next lines endlessly

and I adore you
and I live for you
life is complete now, I love and I am loved
you know this is all that I ever dreamed of

and I adore you
I am here for you
I say it again as if you never knew
everything I do is about loving you

and I adore you
and I live for you
life is complete now, I love and I am loved
you know this is all that I ever dreamed of

and I adore you
I am here for you
I say it again as if you never knew
everything I do is about loving you

(repeat endlessly)

of course

of course
it had to be
look at the date
look at the time

how many years
can this go on
until I realize
how long
you've been gone

but I still dream
and I still hope
call me a fool
call me a dope

and I get high
on dreams of love
it is not you
I'm dreaming of

but I remember
being with you
and feeling love
so real and true

and nothing since
has been so right
so I'm alone
in bed at night

how many years
can this go on
until I realize
how long
you've been gone

but I still dream
and I still feel
there is one love
so true and real

and I believe
dreams still come true
so here's a song
written for you

of course
it had to be
look at the date
look at the time

how many years?
eternity
for that is what
love means to me
