My lover is kind, my lover is sweet
My lover's a woman I've yet to meet
But in the near future, or maybe the distant
I look to that moment, that magical instant
When across the room, what do I see
This beautiful woman looking back at me
With eyes so deep, they burn a whole in my soul
And a smile so subtle, it drives me out of control

At times, I've wondered if she even exists
And at moments of despair when I've almost dismissed
The remote possibility that my bride-to-be
Would ever find her way to someone like me
I think of the wonders of probability and chance
And how all it takes is one fleeting glance
To know in your heart if it was meant to be
One chance in the sea of possibilities

And I think to myself if there are only one or two
In the world with whom my love would be true
Then out of the hundreds of people each day that I meet
There'd be thousands of people I'd see in each week
So with a hundred thousand people every other year
If I lived until eighty, there should be nothing to fear
For out of three million people, even if I were quite selective
If I couldn't find a woman, then I must be defective

But when I think to myself about three million persons
Only half would be female, so my odds start to worsen
And half of those would be ugly, so that makes even less
Than eight hundred thousand pretty ladies for me to impress
And half of those would be fat and half would be dumb
So two hundred thousand would be closer to the sum
Of ladies remaining for me to peruse
In the hopes that one would be the person I'd choose

And though that seems like a lot, there's even more to consider
That could leave me alone - old, wrinkled, and bitter
It's not all in the numbers; there are other factors at play
That could take my dream woman and keep her away
But for now, I'll think positively, and I'll be optimistic
For that makes me happier than being realistic
And I'll imagine one day that I'll meet her by chance
Which will lead to a wonderful, never-ending romance

She'll be perfect for me in every possible way
With beauty and brains - always knowing what to say
She'll be courteous and honest, and incredibly polite
And she'll never be “too tired” when we go to bed at night
We'll share everything together, she'll have nothing to hide
And through good times and bad, she'll remain by my side
But here's the last thing, the most important part
She'll love me completely and with all of her heart.
