'I Just Can't Help Believing'

I just can't help believing

When she smiles up soft and gentle

With a trace of misty morning

And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes

I just can't help believing

When she's lying close beside me

And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs

This time the girl is going to stay

Oh, I just can't help believing

When she slips her hand in my hand

And it feels so small and helpless

As my fingers fold around it like a glove

I just can't help believing

When she's whispering her magic

And her tears are shining honey sweet with love

This time the girl is going to stay

For more than just a day
