The Manhattan Transfer the thought of loving you

The thought of loving you, the way I'm longing to
A thousand hopeful dreams I have 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 tough on me
But now a change has taken place in me, I found someone
Whose faith in me has given me the strength I need so desperately
Oh, in my darkness you turn on the light, my illusions vanish overnight
The thought of loving you is now reality, the thousand dreams I have
I'll know in the end how it could be, for as we melt in love so beautiful
I never felt so wonderful, the thought of loving you
The way I'm loving you right now
In the darkness you turn on the light
My illusions vanish overnight, in the darkness
