I Hope I Live to See

I hope I live to see,
That smile upon your face,
I hope to see it in person,
Please, just one day
And I hope that the good times,
Always outweigh the bad
I hope that my memories,
Will be something I always have

I hope I live to see,
You everyday of my life,
You are the rock that holds me,
Me, you have never denied
And I hope that our future,
Is as bright as it can be
I hope that the love we share,
Lasts all eternity

And I hope that tomorrow,
Will be better than today
I hope that the sun always rises,
I hope for, I believe in change
I hope I'll always see,
Peoples hearts as they rise above
And the one thing I hope I never lose,
Is the strength of my love

I hope I live to see,
People as they cease to cry,
As they hold on to their faith,
Even through a long, cold night
And I hope that someday,
Someone will sing my songs,
I just want to be heard so loud,
It's all I've hoped for all along

I hope I live to see,
You as you grow and learn,
The love that I have for you,
Is one that will always burn
And I hope that you feel the joy in life,
That I try so hard to teach,
I hope that whatever you want,
Will always be within reach

And I hope that tomorrow,
Will be better than today
I hope that the sun always rises,
I hope for, I believe in change
I hope I'll always see,
Peoples hearts as they rise above
And the one thing I hope I never lose,
Is the strength of my love

I hope I live to see,
You as you walk down the aisle,
I hope to share in that moment,
With you, that special smile
And I hope you have a child,
That makes you as happy as you do me
These are just a few of the things,
That I hope I live to see

And I hope that tomorrow,
Will be better than today
I hope that the sun always rises,
I hope for, I believe in change
I hope I'll always see,
Peoples hearts as they rise above
And the one thing I hope I never lose,
Is the strength of my love

I hope I live to see,
New friends as they come my way,
But most of all, what I hope I live to see...
Is just one more beautiful day...
