  • Babe I had a dream
    Woke up in a sweat
    Darkness all around me
    I was caught in its net
    Tried to reach for you
    But you weren't there
    It only was a dream
    But it put danger in the air
    I can feel the nervous rhythm
    Of your heart with mine
    Could we ever stay together
    Stand the test of time
    Baby make me a believer
    Cause this world will lie
    (Oh these times are hard for lovers)
    It's getting harder for you and me
    (Oh)
    It's hard on me and you
    Baby we can make it
    Cause our love will pull us through
    These times are hard for lovers
    It's down to me in you
    Nothing's gonna break us
    If we hang on to what's true
    These times are hard for lovers
    I believe in you
    These times are hard for lovers
    I believe in you
    Everywhere you turn
    Trouble going on
    Living under pressure
    Loving under the gun
    It's hard enough to live
    Draw another breath
    Hang on to me baby
    Like it's life or death
    I can feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
    Could we ever stay together
    Stand the test of time
    Baby make me a believer
    Cause this world will lie
    (Oh these times are hard for lovers)
    It's getting harder for you and me
    (Oh)
    It's hard on me and you
    Baby we can make it
    Cause our love will pull us through
    These times are hard for lovers
    It's down to me in you
    Nothing's gonna break us
    If we hang on to what's true
    These times are hard for lovers
    I believe in you
    These times are hard for lovers
    I believe in you
    Can you feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
    Could we ever stay together
    Stand the test of time
    Baby make me a believer
    Cause this world will lie
    We've got to go the distance
    Touch the sky
    Baby we can make it
    Cause our love will pull us through
    These times are hard for lovers
    It's down to me in you
    Nothing's gonna break us
    If we hang on to what's true
    These times are hard for lovers
    I believe in you
    (These times are hard for lovers whoa)
    Whoa
    (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
    (These times are hard for lovers whoa)
    Whoa
    (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
    I believe in you
    (These times are hard for lovers whoa)
    When I turn to you
    (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
    Yeah
    But I don't believe it
    (These times are hard for lovers whoa)
    Yeah
    (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
    Whoa
    (These times are hard for lovers whoa)
    Baby I believe in you
    (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
    Baby I believe in you
    (These times are hard for lovers whoa)
    Baby I believe in you
    (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah) Writer/s: DESMOND CHILD, JOHN CHARLES WAITE
