The Manhattan Transfer - The Thought of Loving You lyrics

The thought of loving you The way I'm longing to A thousand hopeful dreams I've had Are finally coming true I used to put you on a pedestal Where you became untouchable But now we touch and now so much is possible Just being near to you Would be enough for me The many years without your love Have been so rough for me But now a change is taking place in me I've found someone whose faith in me Has given me the strength I need so desperately In my darkness you turned on the light My illusions vanished over night The thought of loving you Is now reality The thousand dreams I had Were no where near to how it could be For as we melt in love so beautiful I've never felt so wonderful The thought of loving you The way I'm loving you right now
