Shania Twain

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you know I adore you?
A million ways to show you
I do (Ooh-ooh)
I do (Ooh-ooh)
Every moment holdin'
You is a moment stolen
It's true (Ooh-ooh)
It's true (Ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh, whoa, whoa)
Gotta be now or never
(Oh, whoa, whoa)
Time ain't waitin' forever

[Chorus]
So let's start wakin' up dreamin' (Ooh)
And dress up crazy like superstars
There ain't no shakin' this feelin' (Ooh)
Tonight, we're makin' our way to Mars
Way up higher than we've ever been
No, we won't stop at the ceilin'
So let's keep wakin' up dreamin'

[Verse 2]
Now is the perfect timin'
You know it's worth us findin'
The rush (Ooh-ooh)
The rush (Ooh-ooh)
What if there's no tomorrow?
I promise I won't let go
No matter what (Ooh-ooh)
Mattеr what, oh (Ooh-ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh, whoa, whoa)
Gotta be now or never
(Oh, whoa, whoa)
Timе ain't waitin' forever

[Chorus]
So let's start wakin' up dreamin' (Ooh)
And dress up crazy like superstars
There ain't no shakin' this feelin' (Ooh)
Tonight, we're makin' our way to Mars
Way up higher than we've ever been
No, we won't stop at the ceilin' (Ooh)
So let's keep wakin' up dreamin'

[Post-Chorus]
Way up higher than we've ever been
No, we won't stop at the ceilin'
So let's keep wakin' up dreamin'

[Bridge]
Can't live my best life without you, baby
Don't think I could carry on
We're stronger the longer we can make it
Oh, eh-oh, eh-oh
[Chorus]
So let's start wakin' up dreamin'
And dress up crazy like superstars
There ain't no shakin' this feelin'
Tonight, we're makin' our way to Mars
Way up higher than we've ever been
No, we won't stop at the ceilin'
So let's keep wakin' up dreamin'

[Post-Chorus]
Way up higher than we've ever been
No, we won't stop at the ceilin'
So let's keep wakin' up dreamin'Embed
