[Verse 1]
Hey, okay, it's just another day
24 useless hours, what difference does it make?
If your heart ain't changed
Things will be okay
If you'll be mine
Hey, okay
So on a different day
Just the two of us stranded
In our own spaces
If this love is fate
True love always waits
And I know
[Chorus]
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be mine
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be mine
[Verse 2]
A thousand times
That's my lover's promise, a thousand times
That love is here to stay
True love always waits
And I know
[Chorus]
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be mine
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be mine
[Bridge]
In my dreams that's where I'll meet you
Reaching out to stars above you
Call my name I will come to you
I can send my message to you
Eternally soul to soul
[Verse 3]
Hey, okay, so nothing takes your place
But the world gets colder
Feelings don't fade
But you're so far away
I'm praying for the day
And I know
A thousand times
That's my lover's promise, a thousand times
That love is here to stay
True love always waits
And I know
[Chorus]
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be mine
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be mine
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be mine
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be
I hope you'll be mine
[Outro]
Where has my lover gone?
