lyrics

Why’s someone so beautiful talking to me
I just don't see
'Cause things like this just don’t happen to me

I know I must not get ahead of myself but for goodness sake
She’s talking to me

Why’s someone so magical holding my hand
I don’t understand
because things like this just don’t happen to me
I know I must not get ahead of myself but for goodness sake
she’s holding my hand

Yeah yeah yeah cause things like this just don’t happen to me
I know I must not get ahead of myself but for goodness sake..

Why’s someone so wonderful standing with me
just glancing at me as she’s asked to state
do you take this man

Ohhh I’ll not forget when she answered yes for the love of…
the heavens above, the wind and the rain have mercy
Oh I can’t believe that something like this for goodness sake
could happen to me.

You know things like this, you know they just don’t happen to me no..
they just don’t happen to me no..
Things like this they just don’t happen to me.
