Ha ha ha
Coming!!


All my little plans and schemes
   (higher, higher)
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all we really were doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be alone
Don't need to be alone

It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real... love

It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real
It's real love
It's real... love

Give someone the Christmas they've been dreaming of

Explanations

SCHEMES= /ski:ms/ secret plans, plots.


LIKE (lost like...)= (preposition of comparison) similar to; the same as.


SEEMS= (subject missing) It seems...


LIKE (seems like...) = (conjunction) As if.


DON'T NEED= (subject missing) You don't need...


REAL LOVE= /rɪəl lʌv/ True, authentic love.


 


THE CHRISTMAS THEY'VE BEEN DREAMING OF = (relative clause):
- They have been dreaming of (this special kind of) Christmas
= The Christmas (that) they have been dreaming of
You can see that in the relative clause, the preposition stays with the verb even if the verb ends up at the end of the sentence, so we keep saying DREAMING OF
