Late at night when all the world is sleeping I stay up and think of you And I wish on a star That somewhere you are thinking of me too 'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight 'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Than here in my room dreaming about you and me Wonder if you ever see me, and I Wonder if you know I'm there If you looked in my eyes Would you see what's inside? Would you even care? I just want to hold you close But so far, all I have are dreams of you So I wait for the day, and the courage to say How much I love you (yes I do) 'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight 'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Than here in my room dreaming about you and me Corazon, I can't stop dreaming of you No puedo dejar de pensar en ti I can't stop dreaming Como te nesesito I can't stop dreaming of you Mi amor como teextrano Late at night when all the world is sleeping I stay up and think of you And I still can't believe That you came up to me and said I love you I love you too Dreaming all tonight Till tomorrow and for all of my life And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Than here in my room dreaming with you endlessly
