Lyrics

If I believed in paradise

I'd swear I must be there

I'd swear I must be there right now with you

If I believed in miracles

I'd know that one was happening to me

But if I don't believe in paradise

And miracles aren't real

Then someone tell me

What is this I feel

I wanna believe it's love this time

I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie

But with you I can't deny

That if I believed in paradise

I'd swear I'm there

If I believed in magic spells

It all would be so clear

A magic spell must have brought you here

If I could see the future

I'd see if you and I were meant to be

But I don't know any magic

And tomorrow's just a dream

Then something in this fantasy is real

I wanna believe it's love this time

I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie

I wanna believe it's love

I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie

But with you I can't deny

That if I believed in paradise

I'd swear I'm there

I'm there

I'm there

If I believed
