Song Lyrics

(duet with Olivia Newton-John)
Olivia:
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
