Surprise, Surprise

(album: For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night - 1973)

After all this time it's got no better
And the words just seem to pass me by
So I think of you in the morning
Singing a song to fill my eyes

Here I go
Can you sing along?

Stopped to say hello
Something overcame me
Didn't want to go and pass you by
Looked at me so fair
Saw the sun upon you
Blow and slip through your hands

Summer stole away
All the breath within me
Leaving me gasping for some air
Have so much to say
Hardly seem to matter
You were more than some one day

Didn't we believe we were so?
Didn't we believe we were something?
Didn't we believe we were more?
So much more than words can say
Suddenly sunshine, sudden love

When the years are gone
And we live on memories
Will you still remember me that way?
Like I do you too
No matter where I could be
Something's going to steal away

Didn't we believe we were so?
Didn't we believe we were something?
Didn't we believe we were more?
So much more than I don't know
Suddenly sunshine, sudden love

Didn't want to go
Didn't want to leave you
Something pulling me back hurt me so
Waking up I found feet upon the pillow
Head and shoulders on the ground
