Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Much to My Surprise

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

I saw two schemes 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 ya like to be right now

Out where the actors play?

So much for your disguise

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

I gotta make you see somehow

I saw two minds that wandered

They almost caused a wreck

They were all checked out for a wild blue sea

When someone cried hit the deck

I saw two minds in the world set wise

But I almost broke my specs

Wouldn't ya like to be right now

Out where the actors play

So much for your disguise

Much to my surprise
