how was i to know

Lyrics

well i hoped and i prayed, i loved you from afar, i cried, and i dreamed, wished on every star, but nothin' i'd 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 and smiled tenderly, and your words came as such a surprise, well how was i to know, you never let it show, what a beauty like you might see, in a poor boy like me, how could i have seen, you walk out of my dreams, shine your light on my sleepin' heart, and into my soul, how was i to know, you took my hand and led me out the door, we talked and we laughed, 'bout all the times before, when two lonely people so much in love, passed like ships in the night, well how was i to know, you never let it show, what a beauty like you might see, in a poor boy like me, how could i have seen, you walk out of my dreams, shine your light on my sleepin' heart, and into my soul, how was i to know, how could i have seen, you walk out of my dreams, shine your light on my sleepin' heart, and into my soul, how was i, how was i to know, oooh, oooh, ooooooooh oh oh
