Well, it isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
And it isn't the things that you say and do
Make me want you so
It has nothing to do with the wine
Or the feeling it's got in my mind
'Cause 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 could really happen 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
And the world was a place
With a frown on his face
And tomorrow is just I don't know
It's 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, I close my eyes
I close my eyes and count to ten
I can't believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I close my eyes, you're still here
And it isn't the way that you talk
And it isn't the things that you say and do
Make me want you so
It has nothing to do with the wine
Or the feeling it's got in my mind
'Cause 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 could really happen 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
And the world was a place
With a frown on his face
And tomorrow is just I don't know
It's 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, I close my eyes
I close my eyes and count to ten
I can't believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I close my eyes, you're still here
