I know it's not fashionable
To be this hopeful...well laugh away
I didn't think it was possible
To be grateful...anyway
I know it's not sensible
To be this passionate...everyday
Days go by
I catch myself smile
More than you'd ever expect
It's been a long while
Since it's been o.k
To feel this way
In the volumes of history
Have you ever seen anything...so pure
In the wildest mythology
Were the gods and goddesses...ever so in love
In your own experience
Have you ever known tenderness...like this
Days go by
I catch myself smile
More than you'd ever expect
It's been a long while
Since it's been o.k
To feel this way
These are the most precious
Of all my days
To be this hopeful...well laugh away
I didn't think it was possible
To be grateful...anyway
I know it's not sensible
To be this passionate...everyday
Days go by
I catch myself smile
More than you'd ever expect
It's been a long while
Since it's been o.k
To feel this way
In the volumes of history
Have you ever seen anything...so pure
In the wildest mythology
Were the gods and goddesses...ever so in love
In your own experience
Have you ever known tenderness...like this
Days go by
I catch myself smile
More than you'd ever expect
It's been a long while
Since it's been o.k
To feel this way
These are the most precious
Of all my days
