Lyrics
CHORUS 1:
Surprise, Surprise,
What's around the bend?
"You never know - just hang on," says a friend.
But in real life, that's so hard to do,
Or so I said, till I ran into you.
CHORUS 2:
Surprise, Surprise,
What's around the bend?
"Something good -- so hang on," says a friend.
But in real life, that was hard to do,
Or so I said, till I ran into you.
Yesterday was getting up and staring at my face -
Making breakfast for myself in a cold and lonely place.
There was little meaning doing anything alone -
Just a pile of things collected proved that anyone was home.
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
[Instrumental Break]
Just a day or two soon after planning my demise,
The magic that my friend had promised, sparkled from your eyes.
And since I had no hope you were more than a dream come true,
And I'm glad I walked around that other bend and into you.
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
