Lyrics
LOVE SURPRISED ME
INTRO: I held her in my arms, kissed her tenderly
gathered all my courage and asked--"would you marry me?"
But I couldn't find the words of love--I wanted to express
But LOVE SURPRISED ME--she said yes
VERSE
She said--"Yes I'll walk beside you...each and every day
There may come a time...you'll find the words to say
But I can feel a lasting love...when you hold me in your arms
True love is more than words...it's what's in our hearts."
FIRST CHORUS
LOVE SURPRISED ME --it came so suddenly
The words came softly--as she was hugging me
She said she loved me--and put her hand in mine
I hoped she'd see--the love light in my eyes
I held her in my arms--kissed her tenderly
gathered all my courage and asked--"would you marry me?"
I couldn't find the words of love--I wanted to express
But LOVE SURPRISED ME-- she said yes
VERSE
I held her in my arms--caressed her tenderly
Now--I know that true love--is something you can't see
It's something that you feel--it's something that you share
It's something that you can't explain--but you know it's there--and
SECOND CHORUS
LOVE SURPRISED ME--it brought me to my knees
Way down deep inside I know this girl's in love with me
As we go through life together--we'll know laughter--we'll know tears
We'll survive the bad times--and put aside our fears
Real love can conquer anything--we both feel that is true
Well face any hardship --together--me and you
When we're old and gray--we'll look back to the time
When I couldn't say--what was on my mind--when
FIRST CHORUS REPEAT...
