v1
Which way will you choose to fly? I see the fire in your eyes.
I’m praying that you’ll reach forever with these dreams you’re dreaming.
If I could only make you see the joy your loving brings to me.
It’s such simplicity. When will you understand me?

v2
Tonight you’re lying at my side, and while your arms are opened wide,
I wonder just how long you’ll tolerate my antics.
And as we smile and kiss goodnight, I pause and wonder if I might
Be blessed with one more day to revel in you magic.

ch1
And now I feel it more than I could ever dream to try.
I don’t have to make believe. I’m this amazed by
You can’t stand to be alone. No matter how we’ve grown.
You can’t see the way I’m smiling.

v3
These days are like none other.
I’ve encountered heaven in your eyes.
I hold my breath and wait for you to find the laughter in me.
And if you don’t cater to my plans, melodramatic as they stand,
I find no energy to carry on without you.

ch2
Cause you, you brighten up the sky, without a reason why.
You’ve granted me the strength to send me flying high.
Much higher than before, you’ve opened up the door.
But do you see the way I’m smiling?

bri
I look into your atmosphere and nothing ever looked so clear.
I’m staring with my widened eyes and suddenly there’s bluer sky.
In this is just a fantasy, a vision of my reverie.
This couldn’t be reality, this perfect person that I see.

And now that I behold you, I don’t ever want to lose you.
It’s too late to turn back now. After all the love I’ve found.
And oh I know you feel the same. Oh no more tears you’re crying.
But do you understand the way I’m smiling.

ch3
And now I feel it more than I could ever dream to try.
I don’t have to make believe. I’m this amazed by
You can’t stand to be alone. No matter how we’ve grown.
You can’t see the way I’m smiling.

Cause you, you brighten up the sky, without a reason why.
You’ve granted me the strength to send me flying high.
Much higher than before, you’ve opened up the door.
But do you see the way I’m smiling?
