He never did quite understand
Hopes and dreams were out of hand
A fruitless life with nothing grand
He lived on barren land

He dragged himself throughout each day
Hopes and dreams had gone astray
He worked and worked with much dismay
He worked his life away

He drove home quickly down the street
Hopes and dreams still incomplete 
He hit fate as he hit concrete 
He'd love the woman that he'd meet

He saw her first in a speeding hall
Hopes and dreams had learned to crawl
He saw one savior amongst them all
He had begun to fall

He recovered in a white wall room
Hopes and dreams were in full bloom
He saw the nurse, and did assume
She could save him from his doom

She had eyes that could pierce straight through
Hopes and dreams were coming true
He saw that she could see it too
His world was now anew

She went with him though he was cured
Hopes and dreams had been procured
Her smile let him be reassured
A love had now matured 

He needed her to be his wife
Hopes and dreams of such a life
He'd seen that lightning had struck twice
She was his paradise
