Well I hoped and I prayed and I loved
you from afar
I cried, and I dreamed, wished on
every star
But nothin' I did got me closer to
you
So I locked all my feelings inside
Then one night across a crowded room
You looked my way, your eyes held
something new
You walked right up to me and smiled
tenderly
And your words came as such a
surprise
Well how was I to know
You never let it show
What a beauty like you might see
In a poor boy like me
How could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin'
heart
And into my soul
How was I to know
You took my hand and led me out the
door
We talked and we laughed
'Bout all the times before
When two lonely people so much in
love
Passed like ships in the night
Well how was I to know
You never let it show
What a beauty like you might see
In a poor boy like me
How could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin'
heart
And into my soul
How was I to know
How could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin'
heart
And into my soul
How was I
How was I to know
