• 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.
