lyrics

The day I dared to hope
I thought I couldn't lose
I thought a great big jackpot sure would chase away my blues
My confidence was high
I had to go all in
I put the money on the table, watched that wheel spin
I had a lucky feeling, but I guess my luck was bad
The house took me for everything I had
The day I dared to hope

The day I dared to dream
I dreamt that I could fly
Built myself a pair of wings
And reached up to the sky
I thought I'd be a bird
I thought I'd be a plane
I thought I'd be a Superman
And get my Lois Lane
As soon as I got in the air
So high above the ground
All my hopes and dreams came crashing down
The day I dared to hope

Now hope makes the impossible
Seem possible at first
Makes you think at least it's worth a try
But trying leads to failure
Oh my god that failure hurts
If you never hope
You never have to cry

The day I dared to hope
I pinned my hopes on you
Nothing else could bring me down
Our love would see us through
I hoped you'd be my queen
And I would be your king
I hoped together we could conquer anything
But when you told me I would never be the special one
That's when I knew my hoping days were done
The day I dared to hope
