How it really got to my soul

I'm about to record a cover of Dream Angel for my 10 months old daughter, but I can't quite figure out the harmonies. If someone with a better ear than mine could help me with this, I'd be very grateful.

The song is my favourite from Imagination, even though I believe it's not generally held in that high regard around here. But to me, as a father, it means a lot, so I would really like to get around to record it.

Hey man, just remembered this. I think I have an awful habit of committing to too much stuff and not having the attention span to follow through with it (quickly, anyway). Do you happen to know of any a capella version? Some of the vocals are kind of buried in some spots and are hard to hear over the instruments. If not, are you ok with an approximation rather than a note-for-note transcription? I think I'm a fairly competent as an arranger and I'll guarantee it'll sound good and very similar to the original. If you're not cool with that, I understand and can most likely figure them all out, it'll just mean a bit more work on my part.

Edit: They're actually not quite as hidden as I remember, I'll try it out first then get back to you if I have trouble.
Oh, an approximation is just fine. I will probably not make a carbon copy of the rest of the song anyway.

Would like to help you on this too. It's a nice song and I could so some vocal harmonys.
That would be great! I'll message you when I've laid down the basic track!

Thanks to both of you!

There are 5.1 mixes of Imagination, separating the various parts out, which are fairly easy to find with a minimal amount of Googling.
