Lyrics[]
Nini: (Ricky:)
I think of you when the wind blows (every night I've been countin' the days)
I see your face almost everywhere ('cause I just wanna be there when you wake)
Sure, maybe Salt Lake is not close (Denver always seems so far away)
But I'm still breathin' you in the air (but I hope you know that we're still close)
Nini & Ricky:
Because
Nini: (Ricky:)
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams
(Even when you and I are worlds apart)
That always makes me smile, it's you
(I hold you in my heart)
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life
(Even when I'm a thousand miles away)
That makes it all worthwhile
(I wish that I could stay)
Nini & Ricki:
It's you
Nini: (Ricky:)
When I don't know what to do
(I shouldn't fear)
No I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you, baby
(Cause I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on us)
Nini & Ricky:
Baby
Ricky: (Nini:)
I wish that you were here
(There's no need to be blue)
Nini & Ricky:
Because
Nini: (Ricky:)
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams
(Even when you and I are worlds apart)
That always makes me smile, it's you
(I hold you in my heart)
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life
(Even when I'm a thousand miles away)
That makes it all worthwhile
(I wish that I could stay)
Nini & Ricky:
It's you
Nini:
You, you
Ricky:
With you
Nini:
You, you
Nini: (Ricky:)
It's you (with you)
Ricky:
I wish that I could stay
Nini: (Ricky:)
It's you (with you)
Nini:
I think of you when the wind blows
I see your face almost everywhere
Sure, maybe Salt Lake is not close
But I'm still breathin' you in the air
Because
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams
That always makes me smile, it's you
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life
That makes it all worthwhile
It's you
When I don't know what to do
No I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you, baby
There's no need to be blue
Because
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams
That always makes me smile, it's you
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life
That makes it all worthwhile
It's you, you, you
You, you
It's you
It's you
Ricky:
Every night I've been countin' the days
'Cause I just wanna be there when you wake
Denver always seems so far away
But I hope you know that we're still close
Because
Even when you and I are worlds apart
I hold you in my heart
Even when I'm a thousand miles away
I wish that I could stay
With you
I shouldn't fear
Cause I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on us
Baby
I wish that you were here
Because
Even when you and I are worlds apart
I hold you in my heart
Even when I'm a thousand miles away
I wish that I could stay
With you
With you
With you
I wish that I could stay
With you
