I waited till January
I wanted the leaves to fall
On your sundress
In the late afternoon
I called home for the first time
The last week of November
They said how're you?
They said how is school?
They said we're proud of you
Oh and bring her home soon
A hope a lie a chance in time
A wish a kiss was on my mind
A hope a lie a chance in time
I watched it pass me by
And in my heart and in my head
I thought I had a chance
They say the best things in life
Are on the other side of fear
So did I wait too long
Or were you just too far away?
A hope a lie a chance in time
A wish a kiss was on my mind
A hope a lie, a chance at life on the other side
A hope a lie a chance in time
A wish a kiss was on the line
A hope a lie, a chance at life on the other side
A hope a lie a chance to cry
A wish a kiss was on my mind
A hope a lie, a chance at life on the other side
