Used to feel so fuckin' optimistic
Till she said goodbye
Never thought a love like ours would die
Told myself I'd never love another
All I want is friends
But when we met I felt it all again
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
Every evening I would watch the sunset
End another day
Let the nighttime wash my blues away
Buried my romantic inclination
Deep inside of me
Till I fell for you immoderately
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
I remember all the good times
And the bad times spent together
Why remember all the old times
When the new times look much better
Much better
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love
I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had the chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
With you
