Optimistic

Skeeter Davis · Essential [1996]

How long is the river?

How deep is the sea?

How long is forever?

That's how long you'll love me



My heart is beating fast

I found true love at last

I'm so optimistic

I know this new love will last



How high is the mountain?

How far out of space?

How long could I hold you

in a lover's embrace?



Until the end of time

A love that's so divine

I'm so optimistic about

this new love of mine
