Gordon Lightfoot
Much to My Surprise
[Verse 1]
I saw two dreamers dreamin'
They almost caused a spark
I saw two lovers in paradise
Right back at the start
I saw two minds in the world set free
But it almost broke my heart
Isn't it strange to be right now
Havin' you close to me?
Much to my surprise
[Verse 2]
I saw two schemers schemin'
They almost caused a lark
They were two brave souls on a wild blue spree
Right back at the park
They were like two ships and they sailed right by
Each other in the dark
Wouldn't you like to be right now
Out where the actors play?
So much for your disguise
[Verse 3]
I saw two souls out searchin'
They said their last goodbyes
And I saw two hearts of passion then
Much to my surprise
I saw two hearts on passion bent
The kind which mystifies
It is so strange to be right now
Having you on my knee
Much to my surprise
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
I gotta make you see somehow
[Verse 5]
I saw two minds that wandered
They almost caused a wreck
They were all checked out for a wild blue sea
Till someone cried, "Hit the deck"
I saw two minds in the world set wise
But I almost broke my specs
Wouldn't you like to be right now
Out where the actors play?
So much for your disguise
Much to my surprise
