Anita, come closer

Stop crying and listen to me

I guess it's too late now

But somehow I must make you see.

What we thought was our world

Was only a dream world

And we just can't go on like this

Anita, you're dreaming

Of a world that can never exist.



Anita, it's over

There's nothing that's left now to say

Anita, you're dreaming

And I know it's better this way.



Anita, come closer

And close your pretty blue eyes

Your young dreams just can't be

And somehow you must realize.

And each time you're with me

My conscience reminds me

Of someone who's waiting alone

Anita, you're dreaming

And when you awake, I'll be gone.



Anita it's over

There's nothing that's left now to say

Anita, you're dreaming

And I know it's better this way
