There was this dream I had inside me ever since I was young
That I could fall in love
And it'd be easier than anything that I'd ever done before
I thought I'd reached the finish line when I had only begun
What was I thinking of
I hadn't seen this in my dream, it was a new thing for me to know

Well there I was alone just crying in the night
What a fool had I been to think it might have turned out right

Well I was sure that from that time on everything would go wrong
It was a useless cause
And I was destined for my life to just be living alone and then
Something suddenly had changed the moment you came along
That I'd not run across
And you had given back the hope to me for carrying on again

You saw me all alone there crying in the night
and gave me hope in trying to change my life to turn out right

Well there're so many things that happen that I don't understand
Just when I think I know
There's something new that comes along that wasn't what I had planned to be
All I can do is hope the best comes when I get to the end
And try not to let go
It doesn't matter where I am as long as you are there then with me

Don't want to be alone left crying in the night
With just a wish that I had for you and I to turn out right
