    Wonderlove

    by: Yes

    I believed
    That one day love would cast a line
    I believed
    There was something more for me to find
    Hoping today
    Hoping tomorrow
    Taking it all in stride
    I believed
    I could be chasing my mind
    There you were
    Like a dream to me
    Wonderlove
    Could this really be
    Wonderlove
    Can I make you see
    You're the world to me
    I believe
    If only we could take the time
    Eventually
    We would learn each other's life
    Open the heart
    Give it a moment
    Leaving the cares behind
    Happily
    We could be two of a kind
    There you were
    Like a dream to me
    Wonderlove
    We were meant to be
    Wonderlove
    Can I make you see
    You're the world to me
    It was the very next day that I came alive
    The door flung open there was a vision couldn't believe
    My eyes
    Everyone immortal like as though they didn't get it
    Everyone believing here at last receiving wonderlove
    It's a place
    We all belong
    Wonderlove
    Wonderlove
    Can I make you see
    You're my world
    I believe
    I would walk a thousand miles
    Just to see
    The vision of your simple smile
    Everyday
    Wanting to follow
    Forever by your side
    Faithfully
    You are my destiny
    There you were
    Wonderlove
    We were meant to be
    Wonderlove
    It's the world where we belong
    Wonderlove
    Together we
    Will faithfully
    Wonderlove
    Can I make you see
    You're the world to me
    Just imagine what you give is who you are and where you're going to
    If you're looking for the wisdom of the world
    All you gotta do
    Let it coming through
    Be forever
    Just imagine
