I Still Believe Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside
I know it's crazy but
You still can touch my heart

And after all this time
You'd think that I
I wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing's changed

[Chorus:]
I still believe someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
I had a dream someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again

[Verse 2:]
Each day of my life
I'm filled with all the joy I could find
You know that I am not the desperate type

If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp
I'll hold it with both hands
It's worth the risk of burning
To have a second chance

No, no, no, no, no, no
I need you, baby
I still believe that we can be together

If we believe that true love
Never has to end
Then we must know that we will love again

[Chorus:]
I still believe (yeah)
Someday you and me will
Find ourselves in love again
Oh baby, yeah

I had a dream
Someday you and me will
Find ourselves in love again

I still believe
(Oh, baby, I do)
Someday you and me
(Just give me one more try) in love again

I had a dream
(I miss your love)
Someday you and me will
Find ourselves in love again

I still believe
(Yeah, I still believe)
Someday you and me (baby)
In love again

I Still Believe was Brenda K. Starr’s lead single from her 1988 self-titled album.

Written by Antonina Armato and Giuseppe Cantarelli, Antonina wrote the song about the time her boyfriend proposed to her, but she wasn’t ready to get married, so they broke up.

The song peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #14 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart in 1988. The Spanish-language version “Yo Creo En Ti” peaked at #19 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart.

In 1998, Mariah Carey (who was a backup singer for Brenda) covered the song for her “#1’s” album. Her version peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified Platinum.

Brenda’s daughter, Gianna Isabella, sang this son on American Idol.
