I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten
Composer(s): Clive Westlake

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
