Lyrics to my new favorite song:

You're all smiles and silly conversation
As if this sunny day came just for you.
You twist your hair, you smile, and you turn your eyes away.
And won't tell me what's right with you.
Now it dawns on me probably everybody's talkin'
And there's something here I'm supposed to realize.
'Cause your secret's out, and the universe laughs at its joke on me.
I just caught it in your eyes, it's a beautiful surprise.

When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue?
'Cause I swear I never knew it.
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?

Make your way over here, sit down by this fool and let's rewind.
C'mon, lets go back and replay all our scenes.
You can point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time,
All the ones that slipped by me.
I bet my face is red and you can hear my heart poundin'.
Well I guess it doesn't matter now that I realize
'Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now
Right here before my eyes
You're my beautiful surprise.


When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue?
'Cause I swear I never knew it.
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?

Was it at the coffee shop
Or the morning at the bus stop,
When you almost slipped and I caught your hand?
Or the time we built the snowman?
The day at the beach, sandy and warm,
Or the night with the scary thunderstorm?
I never saw the signs
Now we've got to make up for lost time.
And I can tell by the way that you're looking at me
I'd better finish this song so my lips will be free


When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue?
'Cause I swear I never knew it.
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?

Have you been waiting long, when did you fall in love?
I kept you waiting so long, when did you fall?
Have you been waiting long
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?

I just love that. I've always wanted love to sneak up on me and be a "beautiful surprise," cuz that just seems so perfect. It's like realizing you've had a million dollars in a bank account that you didn't even know you had, and then all of the sudden you get a letter from the bank. :o) So then the question is, what do you do with the money? Some would spend it, some would save it. The danger of saving it is that you never get to enjoy what the money can give you, but the danger of spending it is that you spend it so quickly you never quite get to enjoy it. But what if this bank account was constantly replenished, so that your balance was never below $999? Well, you would never be able to enjoy the comfort of the replenishing if you never spent the money. So if you think of love like that surprise bank account, I would want to take advantage of this new account that I have, while making sure I don't spend recklessly.


Ok, so maybe this whole analogy of love to a bank account is a little corny, but hey, it works! So there's a few of my thoughts on that, and I'm out!
