[Verse 1: Dan Hill]
When I sleep through the night
I always dream that we are back together
Must be wishful thinking
Then I wake up alone
The bed seems, oh so empty
I start sinking through waves of wishful thinking

[Pre-Chorus: Dan Hill, Céline Dion, Dan Hill & Céline Dion]
I was the one who said I needed room to breathe
You were the one who said that love was meant for you and me
I was afraid to give too much (Oh, girl)
You gave the world to me every time we touched

[Chorus: Dan Hill & Céline Dion]
When I wake in the night
I reach for your shoulder, come up еmpty
I don't know what I was dreaming
Then I whisper your namе
All I hear is the sound of my heart sinking
Is it only wishful thinking?

[Verse 2: Dan Hill, Céline Dion, Dan Hill & Céline Dion]
So soft your sigh, so sweet your lips when we made love (ooh)
Didn't know how happy, girl, you made me, til you were gone
And see the warning solitude (How could I let you go?)
I'd give a lifetime just to have you one more day, ooooh
[Chorus: Dan Hill, Céline Dion, Dan Hill & Céline Dion]
Is it only wishful thinking? (Tell me I'm not dreaming)
Or maybe you'll come back one day, ooh
Is it only wishful thinking? (Only wishful thinking)
Maybe you'll come back to stay
Come back, baby

[Bridge: Dan Hill, Céline Dion, Dan Hill & Céline Dion]
When the night starts to fall
I swear I hear your breathing in the darkness
I could spend the whole night dreaming
Oh, how our bodies would burn
One on one, I ache for your return
Don't let my heart keep sinking, whoa-oh

[Chorus: Dan Hill, Céline Dion, Dan Hill & Céline Dion]
Is it only wishful thinking? (Oh, know that my heart is sinking)
Maybe you'll come back one day
Oh, someone tell me, is it only wishful thinking
That maybe you'll come back to stay
Who can say?

[Outro: Dan Hill, Dan Hill & Céline Dion]
When I sleep through the night
I always dream that we are back together
This is only wishful thinking
Mmmm, whoa
