Seeing is Believing
The Polar Express Soundtrack · The Polar Express [Soundtrack] [2004]
Seeing is believing
And in my arms I see her
She's here, really here
Really mine now
She seems at home here
Seeing is believing
I dreamt that it would be her
At last life is full
Life is fine now
Whatever happens, one thing is certain
Each time I see a train go by
I'll think of us
The night, the sky, forever
Seeing is believing
My life is just beginning
I'm touched and my head won't stop spinning
From winning her love
He's young, very young
But a feeling...
I feel I know him
Seeing is believing
And I like what I see
I like where I am
What I'm feeling
What are we doing?
Can you believe it?
A starving actress and a starstruck boy
Oh well, I might as well enjoy
The moment
She's warm, and she's wild
And appealing
I feel I know her
Seeing is believing
I never thought I'd be here
Is this really real
Or am I dreaming?
No way of knowing
Where this is leading
It's fun forgetting who we are
Who cares when now the world is far behind us?
Seeing is believing
My life is just beginning
We touched and my head won't stop spinning
From winning your love
Seeing is Believing
