Pictures of you race across my mind
Filling all the space there is to find
Melting love's own ice that lay so frozen
I give that sacrifice for feeling chosen

So if I face another day without you next to me
I'll lock you in my mind and wish away the key

Hope springs eternal when you're near
All the passion reappears
All emotion seems so strong
Hope springs eternal through your eyes
Draws me closer to your side
And keeps me there where I belong

Given back the trust that was so fleeting
Captured by one my heart was seeking
Taken to my destiny's horizon
Searching for the moon we see it rising

And in the silence of the night, I hold you next to me
Feeling dreams take flight, they set the spirit free

Hope springs eternal when you're near
All the passion reappears
All emotion seems so strong
Hope springs eternal through your eyes
Draws me closer to your side
And keeps me there where I belong
Hope springs eternal when you're near
All the passion reappears
All emotion seems so strong
Hope springs eternal through your eyes
Draws me closer to your side
And keeps me there where I belong

Hope springs eternal when you're near
All the passion reappears
All emotion seems so strong
Hope springs eternal through your eyes
Draws me closer to your side
And keeps me there where I belong

Hope springs eternal when you're near
All the passion reappears
All emotion seems so strong
