Lyrics
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?
© Len Bretel
Are you listening to me? Do you hear the words I say?
Are you listening to me? Is your mind so far away?
Promise that you?ll love me, keep me safe your whole life through,
Are you listening to me? What?s a girl supposed to do?
Here we are beneath the stars, one moment in time when the world is ours,
Here we are our dreams alight, the ocean of love can be ours tonight.
Why do you ignore me? Are you dreaming what I fear?
Will your love protect me when I feel there?s danger near?
Are you listening to me? Have you heard a word I?ve said?
Are you listening to me? Has champagne gone to your head?
Here we are beneath the stars, one moment in time when the world is ours.
Here we are our dreams alight, the ocean of love can be ours tonight.
It?s not easy, when you?re reading, getting your attention.
You?re a dreamer, such a dreamer, lost in your inventions!
Instrumental
Here we are our dreams alight, the ocean of love can be ours tonight.
Take my hand, and free your mind. Give me just a moment of your time.
(Spoken) James! ? James! ? Are you listening to me? ? James!
