when you came in my life
it was on borrowed time
this is what i understood

so we did all we could

made most of all our days

we were happy in every way
now at night i dare not dream
cos when i wake you're not with me


i guess i tried hard
hard to pretend

that i didn't care
or even want you in the end


i live in hope
that you'll come back to me
that you'll come back to me

i live in hope
that you'll come back to me
that you'll come back to me


always thought that i knew
what i would do

when it came time for you
to shoot on through my life


always thought that i'd try
try to live my life
never have you on my mind

i guess i was telling lies

but i tried hard

hard to pretend
that i didn't care
or even want you in the end


i live in hope


i guess right now
i hurt inside
now that you're gone

but you brought so much into my life
no one can mean
mean as much to me

so i pray each day
that you'll come back to me


i live in hope
