| Hopeless in love, Down in luck, The world is such an unforgiving place. True love is the thing I value most, Yet what I'm gaining least. Countless daydreams fill my head, Of the way things should be with you and me. But some how I can't say the words, That would make my sleeping hours waking true. And so I find myself, With yet another lonely Friday night, Or an uncaring beau, And the one thought that fills my head, Is of you, And the words I should have said. What a wonderful thing love is! The ability to see the world, Through rose colored glasses! To have your love, Or even just the thought of it, To wrap around me, And ward off the chill of winter with it, Warms me like nothing else can! Can you think back, And remember one perfect day? One day that everything went right, And you knew you were on top of the world, At a place where no one could reach you, No one could hope to touch you? I can. And it was a day when I still loved you. Back in time I drift again, Seeking happy memories I once knew, And while I find my life filled with many, There are only a few with you, In all of which you held me tight at your side, Or lay attentively at mine, Picture perfect we two, Yet it was simply not ment to be. Fortune favored us not, So here I sit alone and lonely, Hoping you have not forgot, Memories still dear to me. I thought you were different, I thought you would last, I thought we could have a love, A love to hold us fast. But when I tried to tell you, I found I was deluding myself, As I'd done before, Many times in the past. And you are truly nothing more, Than what I'd hoped you'd be, The only thing that makes it so cruel, Is that you have no desire for me. Bad day, rough week, The horizon seems endlessly bleak, Phone rings, feeling blue, Pick it up, didn't expect you. Talk a bit, make a date, Suddenly everything seems great! Go to a movie, it's Friday night, Everything feels just right! Eventually the movie ends, It's sometime around ten. Go back to your place, This is simply first rate! So you decide to invite me in, And pour us some drinks with a grin! Into the living room, So dark and full of gloom, But with you by my side, It seems oh so bright! The stars in my eyes, And the music of our sighs, Form an endless symphony is my mind, As I recall that time. |
