Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why don't you dream anymore?
What's in the way?
How come you point to the door
And ask me to stay?
Why don't you flash that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for awhile?
Well, it's up to you, 'cause
[Verse 2]
You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel alright
You are the girl
But will you give me a twirl?
You are the girl
In my dreams
[Verse 3]
Why don't you talk anymore?
What did I say?
How is it what I came for
Is floating away?
Why don't you flash that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for awhile?
Uh, well it's up to you, 'cause
[Verse 4]
You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel alright
(You are the girl)
You are the girl
Will you give me a twirl?
(You are the girl)
You are the girl
In my dreams
[Verse 5]
Why don't you dream anymore?
What's in the way?
How come you point to the door
And ask me to stay?
Why don't you flash that smile
Like you used to do?
Why don't you stay for awhile?
Oh, 'cause it's up to you, 'cause
[Verse 6]
You are the girl
That keeps me up at night
You are the girl
That makes me feel alright
You are the girl
(You are the girl)
Will you give me a twirl?
You are the girl
You are the girl
In my dreams
[Verse 7]
You are the girl
(You are the girl)
And you give me a twirl
You are the girl
You are the girl
In my dreams
You are the girl
In my dreams
