Lyrics
Like someone in a daze
I stand and gaze into your eyes
I’m sure my own are filled with surprise
My joy is so sublime
I must have time to realize
That this is true, that this is you
Chorus:
Here you are
As I dreamed that you would be
How near you are
Just a kiss away from me
Although I know that we’re on earth below
I feel we’re somewhere on a star
Here you are
And I love you much too well
How dear you are
Dearer far than I can tell
Tonight I know it must be you or no one
So if you want my heart
Here you are
