Just Too Much to Hope For

(Too much to hope for, baby)

(Too much to hope for, honey)

Pardon me, I'm sorry

But I just had to call you on the phone

Sitting here in my lonely room

Darling, so all alone

Staring at the floor

Wishing that you'd walk through the door

But darling I know it's just too much to hope for(Too much to hope for, baby)

(Too much to hope for, honey)

Darling, please be kind to me

At least just once in a while?

If you pass me on the street

Would you flash me just a little smile?

'Cause darling, I know

If I ask for anything more

Surely it would be just too much to hope for(Too much to hope for, baby)

(Too much to hope for, honey)

I tried so hard to keep you for myself

But now I know I've lost you, darlin', to somebody elseDarling, I'm not blaming you

For all of my misery

The only thing I ask of you

Is would you try to comfort me?

'Cause all I have in store is heartaches galore

& getting you back is just too much to hope for
