Your Name Is Hope

Your Name Is Hope

1. Your Name Is Hope

Your Name Is Hope

(verse 1)

you and me walking home from a busy day as usual, nothing new

you exchanged your winter sleeves for appropriate summer clothes

you practicing for baseball at the park

while I watch from the bench

you may not win every game

but I'll always be here to provide a cheer

we do this every spring

and I wouldn't trade it for a thing

my existence became

intertwined with the threads of your life

I feel like you lifted the gloom with sunlight

on the ground we sit and gaze at the sky through the newly green leaves

this will last longer than the cherry blossoms bloom

it was with you that I learned this world is beautiful as can be

(chorus)

from this point, I have somewhere to call home

I have someone that I can always go

and call and he'll answer to my voice

from now on, my heart will no longer roam

this encounter didn't happen coincidentally

I'm tied to you with gold rope

your name is hope itself to me

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

the plaza where we always eat is bustling with people

it's not strange, it's normal

but I've never felt so regular

my past was neither here nor there

but my future is full of nothing but amazing color

you like to tease me

I try to be funny

I learned that love

is given and trust is easy to earn

it's hard to imagine I was once so jaded

all those lessons I learned in the back-alley of life

magically faded

there's simple pleasures in just sharing a meal as a couple

one heart is good, but with two happiness is surely doubled

(chorus)

it's all for me, the love your heart always sends

my hurt is sewn up and on the mend

you sparkle, sparkle no matter what you do

I'm jealous of you

imaginary scenarios pop into my head

the future with you has so many options

your name is one I want to share when we elope

because you are full of hope

(end chorus)

(bridge)

perhaps is it that

we bring out the best in each other?

you've got your dad's smile

and your disposition from your mother

I can't help but make comparisons

but I trust you to lead me into

something brand new

no matter what, I understand how to be your match

I know this is a love that will last

you're a man that I will follow

yes

(chorus)

from this point, I have somewhere to call home

I have someone that I can always go

and call and he'll answer to my voice

from now on, my heart will no longer roam

this encounter didn't happen coincidentally

I'm tied to you with gold rope

your name is hope itself to me

I'm so happy, yeah

from today onwards

wow, wow, wow

(end chorus)
