Barry Manilow - This Can'T Be Real lyrics

(duet with Olivia Newton-John)

Olivia:

This can't be real

As long as I love you

How could this ever be real

As long as you're there?

Help me to feel

The nightmare's behind me

That your love will find me

Anywhere

Barry:

Love is what's true

The rest is illusion

What I've discovered with you

No one can steal

Both:

The truth isn't what it seems

The truth is our wildest dreams

Real was your kiss

But as for this

This can't be real

Barry:

This can't be real

So why do I love you

I know that this can't be real

Still you are there

You aren't real

But somehow you've found me

To haunt and surround me

You're everywhere

Both:

This isn't true

It's only illusion

What I've discovered with you

Is just an ideal

Barry:

This must be a dream, I know

So why do I want you so?

Is it because

Olivia:

Only because

This can't be real?

Barry:

This can't be real

Both:

Love is what's true

The rest is illusion

What I've discovered with you

Olivia:

No one can steal

Barry:

No one can steal

Both:

The truth isn't what it seems

The truth is our wildest dreams

Barry:

This must be a dream, I know

Olivia:

So why do I want you so?

Real was your kiss

Barry:

Is it because

Olivia:

Oh, but as for this

Barry:

Only because

Both:

This can't be real

This can't be real

This can't be real
