I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten

                                  It isn't the way that you look

And it isn't the way that you talk

It isn't the things that you say or do

Make me want you so



It is nothing to do with the wine

Or the music that's flooding my mind

But never before have I been so sure

You're the someone I dreamed I would find



It's the way you make me feel

The moment I am close to you

It's a feeling so unreal

Somehow I can't believe it's true

The pounding I feel in my heart

The hoping that we'll never part

I can't believe this is really happening to me



I close my eyes and count to ten

And when I open them you're still here

I close my eyes and count again

I can't believe it but you're still here



We were strangers a moment ago 

With a few dreams but nothing to show

The world was a place 

With a frown on its face

And tomorrow was just, I don't know



But the way you make me feel

The moment I am close to you

Makes today seem so unreal

Somehow I can't believe it's true

Tomorrow will you still be here?

Tomorrow will come but I fear

That what is happening to me

Is only a dream



I close my eyes and count to ten

And when I open them you're still here

I close my eyes and count again

I can't believe it but you're still here

I close my eyes and count to ten

And when I open them you're still here
