Incorrigible Romantic

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

In high school days when youth was in full bloom,
A trip to charming town brought love's sweet tune...
Just riding in a lift, my heart caught sudden fire,
I glimpsed her floor and room number to which I would aspire...

That evening, gathering courage, to her door I crept,
Knocked softly like a lover who heaven's path has kept.
Though I hadn't seen her face, her voice had me enthralled,
Like gentle bells in midnight's silence that sweetly called.

[Chorus]

Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
A soul wide open like a window to the sky,
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
Sees life as theater, a film before his eyes...
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
Knows how to love without a reason or a why.
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
In you he'll see what you yourself cannot descry!

[Verse 2]

She hid her feelings shyly, kept her door sealed tight,
I sat there on the floor, like a snake charmer through the night,
We talked till dawn as if we'd known each other years,
I longed to touch her mystery that daybreak quietly nears.

I sensed she wished for me to come much closer still,
But humans keep such sturdy locks upon their hearts until
The woman in her yielded to my tender serenade,
She opened just a moment... and love to me conveyed!

[Chorus]

Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
A soul wide open like a window to the sky,
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
Sees life as theater, a film before his eyes...

[Verse 3]

By morning, separate paths led us to different towns,
I lived in city bustle, she – where rural quiet abounds...
She thought that nothing happened in that night we spent,
While my heart kept our gentle meeting as a treasured testament!

One day while passing by the station where the trains remain,
I saw her town's name listed on a departing train.
I bought a ticket thoughtlessly and boarded an empty car,
Watched through the window, greeting with a smile the sun's golden star!

[Chorus]

Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
Knows how to love without a reason or a why.
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
In you he'll see what you yourself cannot descry!

[Verse 4]

I missed her station, being the dreamer that I am,
With hours till the next train, I made my pilgrim plan,
Ten versts along the tracks I walked, feeling no constraint,
When love propels you – God himself becomes your friend and saint!

The hours I traveled by foot passed swiftly in dreams of her,
I found her home and garden in days plain and austere.
I knocked upon her door like pilgrims at temple gates,
She opened and her eyes revealed both fear and joy that awaits!

[Instrumental solo]

[Verse 5]

Tea with strawberry pie, her words about a fianc;,
His jealousy that burned so hot, her discomfort day by day...
"Why did you come?" she asked, but in her voice there rang
Delight at seeing one who'd risk it all for love's sweet pang...

But time flew like a bird – what amount would have been enough?
We walked back to the station while she kept looking back...
I didn't want to break her life, just followed my heart's call,
For hearts demand movement like spring demands flowers tall!

[Chorus]

Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
A soul wide open like a window to the sky,
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
Sees life as theater, a film before his eyes...

[Verse 6]

With farewell kiss in public view for all to see,
She dared confirm – I'd been right in thinking of her tenderly...
We never met again throughout life's passing years,
But I remember her warm hand, flaxen hair that softly gleams...

I don't regret the time or strength spent on that way,
I learned what matters most: the will to love each day -
The world becomes your own when that fire burns inside,
And mutual love – just chance's guest, not always by your side...

[Chorus]

Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
Knows how to love without a reason or a why.
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
In you he'll see what you yourself cannot descry!

[Post-Chorus]

Love – they've spoken of it often and since time began...
Love – from this sacred fire, life's tapestry they span...
Love – no worthier pursuit exists on earth, believe!
Love – and God will open happiness's door, don't grieve!
Love – sweeter than the sweetest candy you could taste.
Love – even darkest night with heart's light is embraced.
Love – more faithful than companions by your side.
Love – more beautiful than heaven, than orchids' pride!

[Final Chorus]

Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
A soul wide open like a window to the sky,
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
Sees life as theater, a film before his eyes...
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
Knows how to love without a reason or a why.
Hope-hope-hope-hopeless romantic –
In you he'll see what you yourself cannot descry!
