How Was I To Know

Well, I hoped and I prayed, I loved you from afar And 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, smiled tenderly And your words came as such a surprise How was I to know You never let it show What a beauty like you might see In a poor boy like me And how could I have seen You walk out of my dreams Shine your light on my sleepin' heart 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 Two lonely people so much in love Pa*sed 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 And how could I have seen You walk out of my dreams Shine your light on my sleepin' heart 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 Into my soul, how was I, how was I to know
