  • I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
    I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
    I'll love you more with every breath, truly, madly, deeply do
    I will be strong, I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on

    A new beginning
    A reason for living
    A deeper meaning, yeah

    Well, I wanna stand with you on a mountain
    I wanna bathe with you in the sea
    I wanna lay like this forever
    Until the sky falls down on me

    And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
    I'll make a wish, send it to heaven, then make you want to cry
    The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty
    That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of

    The highest powers
    In lonely hours
    The tears devour you

    Well, I wanna stand with you on a mountain
    I wanna bathe with you in the sea
    I wanna lay like this forever
    Until the sky falls down on me

    Oh, can you see it, baby?
    You don't have to close your eyes
    'Cause it's standing right before you
    All that you need will surely come
    Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah

    I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
    I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
    I'll love you more with every breath, truly, madly, deeply do
    Mmm-mmm

    I wanna stand with you on a mountain
    I wanna bathe with you in the sea
    I wanna lay like this forever
    Until the sky falls down on me

    Well, I wanna stand with you on a mountain
    I wanna bathe with you in the sea
    Well, I want to live like this forever
    Until the sky falls down on me

    Ooh-ooh
    Ooh, yeah-yeah
    Oh, oh
    La-la-la-la-do-yeah-oh-yeah

  • Henry from Las Vegas, NvWhen I first started writing, my pen pal who later became my wife, she turned me onto this song and I knew that if she felt the way described in the song that we were soul mates. We got married at the end of the summer and like Shania Twain's song "You're Still the One" going on 25 years without a major disagreement.
