I can see, no matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me,
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend
Of your embrace?
For dreams are just like wine,
And I am drunk with mine.
I'm aware my heart is a sad affair;
There's much disillusion there,
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I adore you,
Although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream, can't I?
Repeat second verse
I can't make you open your heart
But I can dream, can't I?
