I cannot remember what day it is,
or how this came to be.
All I know is that I fell in love
with Australia, irrevocably.

I've never been hit so hard,
I've never fallen this fast,
But the way he looks at me with
those eyes, there's no going back.

It's not the way he talks,
but its the way he says my name,
That makes me believe in forever,
or that he'll change my last name.

I'm scared to move,
I'm scared to breathe,
What if this man is an Illusion?
A dream within a fantasy?

My heart is pounding faster,
he is holding out his hand.
I close my eyes and take it,
giving love one last chance.

If I am dreaming,
please don't wake me.
If I have died in my sleep,
please...don't bring me back.

Having found him,
is a freedom I thought I'd never have.
Looking at him,
is my heaven.
Don't take me away from that.
