Seeing Is Believing
Michael Ball & Ann Crumb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Seeing is Believing" by Michael Ball and Ann Crumb is a love duet that describes the excitement and thrill of finding true love after a long search. The opening lines, "Seeing is believing, and in my arms I see her, she's here, really here, really mine now," convey the overwhelming joy and ecstasy of finally having found the person they've been looking for. The lyrics also suggest a sense of disbelief, as the characters question whether what they are experiencing is real or just a dream.
The verses describe how the characters feel completely at ease with each other, and how they seem to have found a sense of home and belonging in each other's arms. The lyrics "Life is fine now, whatever happens, one thing is certain, each time I see a train go by, I'll think of us," hint at the uncertainty of the future, but also the hope and promise that this love will endure. The chorus repeats the phrase "Seeing is believing," emphasizing the idea that the characters are finally living in a reality that they once only dreamed of.
The song also touches on the idea of societal norms and expectations, with the lyrics "Can you believe it? A starving actress and a starstruck boy, oh well, I might as well enjoy the moment." This suggests that they are aware of the obstacles that could come with their relationship, but choose to live in the present and enjoy the moment instead.

Seeing is believing
I need to see it to believe it
And in my arms I see her
I finally have her in my arms
She's here, really here
She's actually here and not a figment of my imagination
Really mine now
She belongs to me and only me
She seems at home here
She feels comfortable and at ease with me
I dreamt that it would be her
I always dreamt of being with her
At last life is full
My life is complete now that I have her
Life is fine now
My life is good now that she's in it
Whatever happens, one thing is certain
No matter what happens, I know I'll always think of us
Each time I see a train go by
Every time I see a train, I'm reminded of our love
The night, the sky, forever
Our love will be eternal, just like the night sky
My life is just beginning
My life has just started now that I have her
I'm touched and my head won't stop spinning
I'm overwhelmed with emotion and can't stop thinking about her
From winning her love
Because I finally won her love
He's young, very young
He's just a boy
But a feeling...
But I can't ignore this feeling I have
I feel I know him
I feel like I understand him
And I like what I see
I'm attracted to him
I like where I am
I enjoy being with him
What I'm feeling
This feeling is new to me
What are we doing?
What's happening between us?
Can you believe it?
Can you believe we're together?
A starving actress and a starstruck boy
We're an unlikely couple
Oh well, I might as well enjoy
I might as well enjoy this moment
She's warm, and she's wild
She's passionate and free-spirited
And appealing
I'm attracted to her
I never thought I'd be here
I never thought I'd end up with you
Is this really real
Is this actually happening?
Or am I dreaming?
Is this just a dream?
No way of knowing
There's no way to tell what's going to happen
Where this is leading
What's going to happen next?
It's fun forgetting who we are
It's liberating to not have to worry about society's expectations
Who cares when now the world is far behind us?
Why worry about the rest of the world when we have each other?
We touched and my head won't stop spinning
I'm still reeling from the moment we first touched
From winning your love
Because I won your heart
