I never realized
How badly I needed to be surprised
You kissed me with your eyes; it was then I knew
Now I’m thousands of miles away
Waiting for the first light of day
And the way I’m feeling now is oh so new

And I believe in happy endings
I only see the good in you
I believe that the world is worth mending
And I think that you do too

I know you’re an optimist
You’re pretty impossible to resist
And I know you’ve been used for all your wealth
It’s okay, you can take my hand, you can be with me and be my man
Lay down beside me, I’ll nurse you back to health

I believe in happy endings
And I only see the good in you
I believe that the world is worth mending
And I think that you do too

Is physical attraction just a chemical reaction
Further on down the road, will we be friends
‘cause I could be persuaded, if the moment were recreated
I just don’t know what I would do
If I see you again

I believe in happy endings
And I only see the good in you
I believe that the world is worth mending
And I think that you do too
