Lyrics

My dearest, darling
It′s now three in the morning
And at this moment
Sleep escapes me
The Moon is full
And the stars are bright
Framed by a veil of your memories
Once again, loneliness is a reality
As these thoughts of you come to me
Are you free from life's shadows of despair?
Does happiness still surround you
As I remember you when I was there?
Does a rainbow still curve your lovely smile?
A smile so silent, yet saying more than a thousand words could say
Has time changed the seasoning of your heart
For the flavors of my mind?
If by chance do I ever cross your mind
Half as much as you cross mine?
Does your love still linger on
Even though, even though, my love, I'm gone?
Do I appear in your dream?
Does a summer night bring back memories?
Or am I just some long lost Joe
For whom your love comes and leaves when I go?
If this is so, oh, baby (Baby)
Just let me know, oh (Baby)
Don't leave me hanging on daydreaming (Don't leave me hanging, hanging)
Wishful thinking (Wishful thinking)
Is your skin still soft to the touch?
Do you wear your hair the way I loved so much?
Do you still walk through the dew on the lawn?
Does your eyes awaken as sweet as the dawn?
When asked who has your love to claim
Do you reply giving my name?
And when people try to tear you down
Or do you let them know our love is on solid ground?
If this is so, oh, babe (Baby)
Please let me know, oh, oh, baby (Baby)
Don't leave me hanging on daydreaming (Don't leave me hanging, hanging)
Wishful thinking (Wishful thinking)
Ooh, baby, yeah
What do you say, you say?
What do you say, baby?
(My love if this is so, oh, baby (Baby))
Well, my love
I know I′ve been gone for a long time
(Please let me know, oh, oh, oh (Baby))
So whatever you choose to do, I'll understand
(Don′t leave me hanging on daydreaming (Don′t leave me hanging, hanging))
Because a girl as lovely as you
(Wishful thinking)
Can′t wait for what must seem like forever for a guy like me (Baby)
(If this is so, oh, baby (Baby))
I only pray that time hasn't taken away your love
(Please let me know, oh, oh, oh, baby (Baby))
Maybe when I return we can pick up the pieces
(Don′t leave me hanging on (Don′t leave me hanging, hanging))
And join the links that made us once one
(Daydreaming, daydreaming, I said I'm wishful thinking
Yeah)
Wishful thinking, Leroy
(If this is so, oh, oh, baby (Baby)
Let me know (Baby))
