Lyrics
One thing seemed clear
From the very beginning
You weren?t looking for me
You with the rules for that game you were winning
Me with my need to be free
Gee but you looked so cute
See how that business suit
Played up your little boy eyes
Cutting through all the mess
Of my artistic bliss
What an amazing surprise
Chorus:
That we found
Love in unexpected places
You and me
Set aside all expectations
Let our fantasies run free
Giving into tender feelings
Watching gently as they grew
Now you?re the love of my lifetime
Who can it be but you?
Now looking back
At the way that we started
So memories ago
Who knew that mommy can keep a schedule
Daddy could go with the flow
Taming the wilderness
Of our domestic stress
So very glad you?re my guide
Wrapped in your warm embrace
Im in a state of grace
And im unable to hide
Chorus?..
