“This Can’t Be Real”
(feat. Olivia Newton-John)
This can’t be real
As long as I love you
How could this ever be real
As long as you’re there?
Help me to feel
The nightmare’s behind me
That your love will find me
Anywhere
[Barry:]
Love is what’s true
The rest is illusion
What I’ve discovered with you
No one can steal
[Both:]
The truth isn’t what it seems
The truth is our wildest dreams
Real was your kiss
But as for this
This can’t be real
[Barry:]
This can’t be real
So why do I love you
I know that this can’t be real
Still you are there
You aren’t real
But somehow you’ve found me
To haunt and surround me
You’re everywhere
[Both:]
This isn’t true
It’s only illusion
What I’ve discovered with you
Is just an ideal
[Barry:]
This must be a dream, I know
So why do I want you so?
Is it because
[Olivia:]
Only because
This can’t be real?
[Barry:]
This can’t be real
[Both:]
Love is what’s true
The rest is illusion
What I’ve discovered with you
[Olivia:]
No one can steal
[Barry:]
No one can steal
[Both:]
The truth isn’t what it seems
The truth is our wildest dreams
[Barry:]
This must be a dream, I know
[Olivia:]
So why do I want you so?
Real was your kiss
[Barry:]
Is it because
[Olivia:]
Oh, but as for this
[Barry:]
Only because
[Both:]
This can’t be real
This can’t be real
This can’t be real
