I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you

I dedicate this melody to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

It's like you fail to make the connection
You know how vital it is
Or when something slips through your fingers
You know how precious it is
Well you reach the point where you know it's
only your second skin
It's only your second skin
