Lyrics

Take a look at my life, surely I've got nought to complain about
I'm widely a success, there's no reason to pout
One would say there's little I'm missing
But, as I digress, I must confess, aside from all my conquests
There is a treasure lying just out of sight
The final chapter of my tale I'm yet to write
I've tried ev'ry ploy I know to win your heart, dear
But boy, I can't even start - with ev'ry hint I make, I never seem to break below the surface
Still I'm hoping some day soon the tide will turn - time and time again I picture the moment when you learn of all this yearning
So grand; just the simple thought of holding your hand
And yet you evade me - things never go to plan
I'd give the world just to be near to you
Funny how I freeze with fear ev'ry time I have a chance to reveal my love is true
Sure it might sound crazy that of all there is to worry about
I'm here obsessing over each scenario - just can't let it go
Ev'ry way I could blow each chance of proving that I'm
Worthy of a moment of your precious time
If I were to win your heart, each feat would dwindle in its shadow
All of heaven's bells would chime
I've sailed the ocean, climbed the highest heights
Flown 'round the world in a plane, walked the streets aglow with neon lights
Still I'd trade it all for just one tender moment with you - I must be crazy
Hazy dreams of holding you; It's true there's nothing I would rather do
So please, answer my plea; tell me you see the two of us together
There's nothing else I desire, your vision sets my soul on fire
With each and ev'ry glance; won't you
Come on over here, darling and fulfil my only wish before my lonely heart ceases to scheme
You know only you can save me from falling apart at the seams
Life has so much to give to lovers who allow themselves to dream - won't you give me a chance
