Here we are,
two silhouettes in the blue
Here we are
bidding the stardust adieu.
Soon you'll be
lost in the glory of dreams
yet, my lovely one,
strange as it seems I'm

Afraid to dream
afraid that you
may not be there;
Afraid to dream
without you life
would seem so bare
with open arms I call to you
I want you, dear,
Just as I reach for you
why do you disappear?
Afraid to dream
I'll see you there
with someone new;
afraid to find
another one caressing you;
although you promised me
that this could never be
it's the thought of losing you
that makes me so
Afraid to Dream.

Afraid to dream
afraid that you
may not be there;
Afraid to dream
without you life
would seem so bare
with open arms I call to you
I want you, dear,
Just as I reach for you
why do you disappear?
Afraid to dream
I'll see you there
with someone new;
afraid to find
another one caressing you;
although you promised me
that this could never be
it's the thought of losing you
that makes me so
Afraid to Dream.

There's a day
coming to me very soon,
Love's own day
bringing us our honeymoon.
In your arms
then I shall rest
till I wake,
Knowing no alarms
ever will make me.

Afraid to dream
afraid that you
may not be there;
Afraid to dream
without you life
would seem so bare
with open arms I call to you
I want you, dear,
Just as I reach for you
why do you disappear?
Afraid to dream
I'll see you there
with someone new;
afraid to find
another one caressing you;
although you promised me
that this could never be
it's the thought of losing you
that makes me so
Afraid to Dream.
