Lyrics

All I'm Hopin' For

The wind howls out some lovesick melody
That knocks me from my step
And mocks my liberty.
My mind brings back some long forgotten smile
And gentle, graceful curls
That hung above her eyes.

And I'm wonderin'
Where she lays her head
And of princes, and of lovers,
and of fools.
For what was I to do
But turn around and leave
Before the achin' in my heart
Drove me to my knees

You know its true
All I was really hopin' for
Was you.

A winter's moon lights my journey home
Through frosted sleeping fields
And passageways of stone.
My heart flickers a little light to reminisce
Of a distant, simpler time
And the riches in a kiss

And I'm a thinkin'
Does she still possess
Those sparklin' eyes
That made me want to climb
Out to reach the stars
Sprinkled on the sky
With a head full of ideas
But a heart with severed ties.

You know its true
All I was really hopin' for
Was you.

So I'll just keep on keepin' on
And if I have to have these thoughts
I'll just toss them in a song.
And if you hear me howlin' at the moon
You know its just a dream
Of a setting for two.

And I'm a thinkin'
Will I ever get
Another kiss that could
Make me love again.
So take my fancy clothes
And knock me from my road
All I really need to have
Is just a woman and a friend

You know its true
All I was really hopin' for
Was you.
