 With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
 Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart?
 With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
 You're with me now sharing a vow never to part

 I'm so afraid to close my eyes
 Afraid that I'll find
 This lovely thrill
 Is just a silly illusion

 With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
 Do I deserve such a break?
 Pinch me to prove I'm awake
 I can't believe that you're really mine


 MONOLOGUE:  Darlin'   with my eyes wide open   I'm dreamin' !  Can it be true that I'm holdin'
 you so close to my heart?  Ya know   with my eyes wide open   I'm dreamin' !  You're here with
 me now   make the vow that we'd never part.  I'm so afraid to close my eyes!  I'm afraid that I'll
 wake and find   that all this dreamin'   is just a silly illusion!

 With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
 Do I deserve such a break?
 Pinch me to prove I'm awake
 I can't believe that you're really mine
