My wife asked me to write something a bit more `uplifting` so the song title and words came from that. I would love to hear someone like Bette Midler put it out as I feel that the song would be good for her.
Thank you for the feedback Brent, it is good news for us amateur songwriters to receive a bit of `positive` from someone like yourself. I will definitely have another look at the lyrics.

HOPE
DO YOU RECALL WHEN THE DAYS SEEMED SO GOOD
WAKING UP WITH A BUZZ LIFE GIVES US ALL
WHATEVER HAPPENS TO OUR HOPES AND OUR PLANS
DO THEY DISAPPEAR IN THE SKY
ALL IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
IN A CORNER OF YOUR HEART YOU WILL FIND A HIDDEN CLUE
IT`S A PART YOU HAVE TO REACH AND IT`S THERE FOR ME AND YOU
AS A PROBLEM SEEMS FAR TOO MUCH AND YOU`RE STRENGTH EBBS AWAY
THEN REACH THIS LITTLE CORNER THAT`S IN YOUR HEART TODAY
SOMETIMES THINGS JUST COME ALONG TO TEST THAT INNER PART OF YOU
AND YOU FEEL A BIT ALONE AS IT HAPPENS TO BUT A FEW
JUST SAY TO YOURSELF SOMETIMES THINGS HAVE TO END
AND AS THE DAYS TURN AROUND ALL YOUR ACHE`S START TO MEND
HOPE IS NEVER FAR AWAY TO LEND A SPECIAL HELPING HAND
IT`S THERE IN THAT CORNER OF YOUR HEART FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND
TO UNDERSTAND
DO YOU RECALL WHEN THE DAYS SEEMED SO GOOD
WAKING UP WITH A BUZ LIFE GIVES US ALL
WHATEVER HAPPENS TO OUR HOPES AND OUR PLANS
DO THEY DISAPPEAR IN THE SKY
JUST IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
DAYS WILL COME AND DAYS WILL GO WHEN YOU`R ON YOUR OWN
AND THAT CORNER OF YOUR HEART SAYS DO YOU WANT TO BE SHOWN
THAT THERE`S SOMETHING THERE FOR YOU WHEN NO ONE IS THERE
AS A LITTLE FRIEND CALLED HOPE IS WAITING TO GIVE YOU SOME CARE
SO THEN WHEN YOU RECALL WHEN THE DAYS SEEMED SO GOOD
TRY TO GIVE HOPE A CHANCE AS YOU KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD
LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AGAIN AND BE CERTAIN TO START
TO LIFT YOUR TOMORROWS
FROM A CORNER OF YOUR HEART
AND YOU`LL FIND THAT LIFE`S LIKE THIS IN A FUNNY SORT OF WAY
AS A FRIEND CALLED HOPE CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO COPE FROM TODAY
FROM TODAY

Hey, Barry! Thanks for sharing your song. Man, I love so much of your chorus melody! Sounds like a classic. Beautiful. And I like that the song is about hope. I think that theme fits the hopeful melody.
Unfortunately, the lyric doesn’t quite get me there. Not sure why that is. Might be my own likes-and-dislikes. I’m such a “paint me a picture” lyricist, that it might make it hard for me to follow this type of lyric. But, again, there’s some killer melodic stuff here. Keep on writing!
Hope that helps. Please pay it forward by commenting on another writer’s song. Thanks!
