It can be strange
|
In the world we live in
|
So many things are not how they appear
|
We sit and talk
|
Of what it doesn't matter
|
The meaning of the words we use
|
Hides behind the sound
|
|
Yet still it takes me by surprise
|
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
|
With thoughts which even now I can't control
|
How simple words and gestures
|
Make the world seem right
|
No matter what they say
|
No matter what they say
|
|
It's hard to believe
|
That once we met as strangers
|
Not knowing of the life that we would share
|
You lead me on
|
Through new ways unfamiliar
|
Or down a road we travelled many times before
|
|
Yet still it takes me by surprise
|
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
|
With thoughts which even now I can't control
|
How simple words and gestures
|
Make the world seem right
|
No matter what they say
|
No matter what they say
|
|
The years go by
|
Older yet no wiser
|
Our hearts and minds remain as they once were
|
And after all the time
|
That we have been together
|
So many times we must have been this way before
|
|
Yet still it takes me by surprise
|
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
|
With thoughts which even now I can't control
|
How simple words and gestures
|
Make the world seem right
|
No matter what they say
|
No matter what they say
|
