Shawn Colvin - One Day She'll Love Me Lyrics

I'd never imagined before
That the world could be turned on it's head
I'd never have thought
To be here in this place
I'd never have dreamt that in love
I'd be lost and so easily led
I guess I was caught
By that hint of a smile on her face

I thought I was happy
When my life was as easy as pie
But that was the past
Of an ignorant youth
I'm falling in love with the girl
But I'm forced to be living a lie
And she'd never love me
If she knew the truth

Is it asking too much
If I pray for a miracle, miracle
That one day she'll love me
One day she'll say I care

Although he's changing day by day
He finds these tender words of love
Impossible to say
He walks in the room
And I'm never quite sure
If he's trying to be somebody else
I'm liking him better that he's
Not his arrogant self
Perhaps I'm expecting too much
Of a miracle, miracle

One day he'll love me
One day he'll say I love you
And I will love him until I die

Distant Star
Cast your light
On my life

And one by one
I didn't anticipate feeling the power of love
In this way

And day by day
We've never been closer than this
And I find myself daring to pray

We'll find these tender ways of love
Impossible to disobey

One day she'll love me

One day he'll say I love you

And I will love her

Until the moment
Our hearts stop beating
And we are light
