Here's to Hoping

I came back to see you - it was after my show.
The last time that I stood here was lightyears ago.
I felt you were calling me - I don't know why,
But everything's changed in the time that's gone by.

Well, maybe I'll buy you someday and I'll
watch as my children play where I played...

Here's to hoping I find what I'm looking for, make memories,
Make someone happy as someone makes me,
Keep up the struggle until I have won,
Until that day comes, here's to hoping.

I came back to see you, and your walls,
They don't seem so high to me now that I'm tall.
I smiled to myself at those happy ghosts,
Oh Summer's the time when I miss you the most.

Well, maybe I'll buy you someday and I'll
watch as my children play where I played...

Here's to hoping I find what I'm looking for, make memories,
Make someone happy as someone makes me,
Keep up the struggle until I have won,
Until that day comes, here's to hoping.

I came back to see you, to rewind,
And to tell you it hurt me to leave you behind.

Well, maybe I'll buy you someday and I'll
watch as my children play where I played...

Here's to hoping I find what I'm looking for, make memories,
Make someone happy as someone makes me,
Keep up the struggle until I have won,
Until that day comes, until that day comes and I...

Wake up smiling, my eyes shining,
The world is aglow,
And troubles I've had I let go.
Then I'll know...

I've found what I'm looking for, made memories,
Made someone happy as someone's made me,
Kept up the struggle and now I have won,
I can't believe that this day has come.

Here's to hoping, here's to hoping.
