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
