Pretending that we'll meet ech time I turn a corner,
I walk a little faster.
Pretending life is sweet 'cause love's around the corner,
I walk a little faster.

Can't begin to see my future shine as yet;
No sign as yet
You're mine as yet!
Rushing to'ard a face I can't define as yet;
Keep bumping into walls
And taking lots of falls!

But even though I meet at each and every corner
With nothing but disaster,
I set my chin a little higher,
Hope a little longer,
Build a little stronger
Castle in the air,
And thinking you'll be there,
I walk a little faster!

Can't begin to see my future shine as yet;
No sign as yet
You're mine as yet!
Rushing to'ard a face I can't define as yet;
Keep bumping into walls
And taking lots of falls!

But even though I meet at each and every corner
With nothing but disaster,
I set my chin a little higher,
Hope a little longer,
Build a little stronger
Castle in the air,
And thinking you'll be there,
I walk a little faster!
