Lyrics

One can have a dream, ba by; two can make that dream so real.

One can talk a bout be ing in love; two can say how it real ly feels.

One can wish up on a star; two can make that wish come true.

One can stand a lone in the dark; two can make the light shine (C7)through.

(C)It takes two, ba by, It takes two, ba by,

me and you,

just takes two.

(C7)It takes two, ba by, it takes two, ba by, to make a dream come true,

just takes two.

One can have a dream, ba by; two can make that dream so real.

One can talk a bout be ing in love; two can say how it real ly feels.

One can wish up on a star; two can make that wish come true.

One can stand a lone in the dark; two can make the light shine (C7)through.

(C)It takes two, ba by, It takes two, ba by,

me and you,

just takes two.

(C7)It takes two, ba by, it takes two, ba by, to make a dream come true,

just takes two.
