"This Can't Be Real"

[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
