I know I think my big mistake was written on the sky
To roll with fate or should I wait until we coincide
The optimistic messenger was in my neighborhood
You could have promised anything and I wish you would
Saying I'm sure saying I'm sure
More than the smile of a child on the mountains sweet and pure
You told the other passengers while we rode through the night
To close our eyes and become wise so we could have some sight
Saying I'm sure saying I'm sure
I'll never find another kind that's quite like yours
Saying I'm sure saying I'm sure
More than the smile of a child on the mountains sweet and pure
[ guitar ]
The optimistic messenger...
Saying I'm sure saying I'm sure
More than the smile of a child on the mountains sweet and pure
Saying I'm sure saying I'm sure
I'll never find another kind that's quite like yours
I'll never find another kind that's quite like yours
