Hopelessly Hopeful

I see you standing all alone, My heart skips beat - I whisper a moan. You look at me - what do I say? Your Beauty scares me - I turn away. Suddenly an emotion sweeps over me, I muse my reflection - Consider what I see. A hopeless man with hopeful dreams, Is standing where this Beauty gleams. I look into your eyes - I see something there, So much love - Traced by dare. I'll take a chance - Fate must know, Am I the spark who made you love-light glow? With hopeless Fate lending a hand, Beauty offers a hopeful smile so grand. Could this be love? I will search for a clue, Hopelessly Hopeful for this dream come true.
