You make me dream and I know why.
Because I am man and you are the sky.
This sky that I have tried to tame.
I discovered you like man found flame.
You are beautiful, mysterious and free.
But touching you will always burn me.
I am that man and I will always try.
To touch the fire and join you the sky.
But touching the fire will always burn.
And flying only the birds can learn.
So, I will wait here and dream of you.
Passing the fire and flying in the open blue.

If we could do it over
start again anew
would your ring be on my finger
Would I still be loving you
If
