Well I hoped and I prayed I loved you from afar I cried and I dreamed wished on every star But nothing I do 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 Smiled tenderly The words came as such a surprize ( How was I to know? You never let it show What a beauty like you might see in a poor boy like me-ee-ee How could I have seen? You walk out of my dreams Shining your light on my sleeping heart Into my soul-oul-oul How was I-I-I-I to know? You took my hand and led me to the door We talked and we laughed about all the times before Two lonely peple so much in love pass like ships in the night chorus, lead, to ending ENDING: How could I have seen? You walk out of my dreams Shining your light on my sleeping heart Into my soul-oul-oul How was I-I-I-I How was I-I-I-I to know?
