With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
You're with me now, sharing a vow, never to part

I'm so afraid to close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
That this lovely thrill
Is just a silly illusion

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Darling, do I deserve such a break
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine

(Orchestral Interlude)

I'm so afraid to close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
That this lovely thrill
Is just a silly illusion

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Darling, do I deserve such a break
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine
