THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
wishing I could tell you
just what you mean to me
wishing I could show you
that you're more than a fantasy
wishing I could hold you
so you'd know how I feel
wishing I could find you
so this could be real
precious one
I confused us
with mixed signals
never defined the love
and I drifted
far away somehow
but I never loved you more
than I love you right now
you could have been anything you wanted to be
I never thought you'd want to be... away from me
you could have been my lover
you could have been my best friend
you could have been my sister/brother
you could have been here till the end
you could have been my child
if I'd only opened up to you
I was unsure just what I wanted
but maybe you knew...
maybe you knew...
precious one
I destroyed us
with indecision
and undefined dreams
and I wandered
in illusions
but you never left my heart
beneath the confusions
you could have been anything you wanted to be
I never thought you'd want to be... (so far) away from me
we were years apart in birth dates
you were more experienced in love
my heart never knew what you took for granted
I was just enchanted...
precious one
are you listening
can you hear me now
it's for you I sing
wishing I could
show you everything
you hold the crown in my life
though I never called you king
you could have been anything you wanted to be
and you still can be... if you can hear me...
it still can be... if you hear me...
we still can be... if you hear me...
