Time … it has no meaning
When you’re in love, a week is gone in a day
Twenty four hours
Can seem like a lifetime
You’re so close apart
Yet you’re oceans away

Space … although it’s all around you
Is closing in fast till you feel you can’t breathe
You need to break loose
But you want to be with her
Emotions you’re feeling
Are hard to believe

CHORUS:

Why won’t heart and mind conspire?
Why can’t they be in complete harmony?
Your heart is telling you to fan the fire
Your mind is saying that this just cannot be

You … can recognise this feeling
That’s bringing back mem’ries of the man that was you
Somebody who has
So long been concealing
Old feelings of love
For a love that is new

She … is so sophisticated
At the start, just a part of a sweet fantasy
She’s told you your love
Is reciprocated
Out of your dreams now
She’s reality

CHORUS:

Why won’t heart and mind conspire?
Why can’t they be in complete harmony?
Your heart is telling you to fan the fire
Your mind is saying tho’ that this just cannot be

But surely by now she knows
That she is the girl of your dreams
But how can you tell her so? …

Love … comes like a bolt from the blue
You’ve been living your life like a clockwork machine
And she’s told you that
She is attracted to you
And she offers the chance
To break from the routine

Life … that caveat unspoken
Is holding you back from the offer she’s made
A promise you’ve pledged
That should never be broken …
But this feeling’s so strong
You are really afraid

MUSICAL INTERLUDE OF CHORUS

But surely by now she knows
That she is the girl of your dreams
But how can you tell her so? …

Truth … that universal constant
Says life’s black and white with no grey in between
But beliefs that you held
Have now gone in an instant
Between those extremes
A whole rainbow you’ve seen

Time … it has no meaning
When you’re in love, a week is gone in a day
Twenty four hours
Can seem like a lifetime
You’re so close apart
Yet you’re oceans away
