This Can’t Be Real - Barry Manilow

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

Love is what’s true

The rest is illusion

What I’ve discovered with you

No one can steal

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

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

This isn’t true

It’s only illusion

What I’ve discovered with you

Is just an ideal

This must be a dream, I know

So why do I want you so?

Is it because

Only because

This can’t be real?

This can’t be real

Love is what’s true

The rest is illusion

What I’ve discovered with you

No one can steal

No one can steal

The truth isn’t what it seems

The truth is our wildest dreams

This must be a dream, I know

So why do I want you so?

Real was your kiss

Is it because

Oh, but as for this

Only because

This can’t be real

This can’t be real

This can’t be real
