I’m sorry things didn’t go the way
We expected them to and I hope
That you continue to look for
A semblance of something good left in me
Every day is a new day
That is if you really want it to be
You were gone with the wind
You had we trembling like a leaf on a tree
Hope springs eternal
For my baby and me
Hope springs eternal
For eternity
Surely someday we’ll find that after all
It was intended as such
Uneasy and confined from home
We expatiate things that we see
We’ll be oceans apart
And realize absence grew
Two fondering hearts
Count the days as they go by
We are never but always blessed to be
Hope springs eternal
For my baby and me
Hope springs eternal
For eternity
Now every morning is a milestone
I need a second hand to get me through it
The way you push those tender buttons in my brain
It’s just about as much as I can take
But I can’t take it
Believe you me
Hope springs eternal
For my baby and me
Hope springs eternal
For eternity
