Duet version=
Nini: (Ricky:)
I think of you when the wind blows (every night I've been countin' the days)
I see your face almost everywhere ('cause I just wanna be there when you wake)
Sure, maybe Salt Lake is not close (Denver always seems so far away)
But I'm still breathin' you in the air (but I hope you know that we're still close)
Nini & Ricky:
Because
Nini: (Ricky:)
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams
(Even when you and I are worlds apart)
That always makes me smile, it's you
(I hold you in my heart)
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life
(Even when I'm a thousand miles away)
That makes it all worthwhile
(I wish that I could stay)
Nini & Ricki:
It's you
Nini: (Ricky:)
When I don't know what to do
(I shouldn't fear)
No I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you, baby
(Cause I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on us)
Nini & Ricky:
Baby
Ricky: (Nini:)
I wish that you were here
(There's no need to be blue)
Nini & Ricky:
Because
Nini: (Ricky:)
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams
(Even when you and I are worlds apart)
That always makes me smile, it's you
(I hold you in my heart)
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life
(Even when I'm a thousand miles away)
That makes it all worthwhile
(I wish that I could stay)
Nini & Ricky:
It's you
Nini:
You, you
Ricky:
With you
Nini:
You, you
Nini: (Ricky:)
It's you (with you)
Ricky:
I wish that I could stay
Nini: (Ricky:)
It's you (with you)
