Why are my eyes always filled with this vision of you?
Why do I dream silly dreams that I know won’t come true?
I long to show you the stars,
Caught in the dark of the sea.
I long to speak of my love,
But you don’t come to me.

So I go on asking if maybe one day you’ll care.
I tell my sad little dreams to the soft evening air.
I am quite hopeless it seems.
Two things I know how to do.
One is to dream,
Two is loving you.

(4 bar interlude) {2/4 time}

Dreams go drifting thru me, like some silent movie.
Love scenes in which I am, always the hero.
I long to show you the stars,
Caught in the dark of the sea.
I long to speak of my love,
But you don’t come to me.

Since I write the story, always you adore me.
In each other’s arms, we kiss at the fade out.
I am quite hopeless it seems.
Two things I know how to do.
One is to dream,
Two is loving you.

Portuguese Lyric:

Vivo sonhando, sonhando mil horas sem fim.
Tempo em que vou preguntando se gostas de mim.
Tempo que falar em estrelas,
Falar de um mar, de um ceu assim,
Falar do bem que se tem,
Mais voce nao vem, nao vem.

Voce nao vindo, nao vindo a vida tem fim.
Gente se rindo falando, zombando de mim.
E eu a falar em estrelas,
Mar, amor, luar,
Pobre de mim,
Que so se te amar
