Pretending that we'll meet
Each time I turn a corner
I walk a little faster

Pretending life is sweet
'Cause love is around the corner
I walk a little faster

Can't begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you're mine as [bad word] toward a face I can't divine as yet
Keep bumping into walls and taking lots of falls

But even though I meet
At each and every corner
With nothing but disaster

I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer
Build a little stronger castle in the air
And thinking you'll be there
I walk a little faster

Can't begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you're mine as [bad word] toward a face I can't divine as yet
Keep bumping into walls and taking lots of falls

But even though I meet
At each and every corner
With nothing but disaster

I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer
Build a little stronger castle in the air
And thinking you'll be there
I walk a little faster
