Wasn't Expecting That

It was only a smile,

But my heart it went wild,

I wasn't expecting that.

Just a delicate kiss,

Anyone could have missed,

I wasn't expecting that.

Did i mis-read the sign,

Your hand slipped into mine,

I wasn't expecting that.

You spent the night in my bed.

You woke up and you said,

"I wasn't expecting that".

I thought love wasn't meant to last,

I thought you were just passing through,

If i ever get the nerve to ask,

What did i get right to deserve somebody like you?

I wasn't expecting that.

It was only a word,

It was almost mis-heard,

I wasn't expecting that.

But it came without fear,

A month turned into a year,

I wasn't expecting that.

I thought love wasn't meant to last,

Honey, i thought you were just passing through,

If i ever get the nerve to ask,

What did i get right to deserve somebody like you?

I wasn't expecting that.

Oh isn't it strange,

How a life can be changed,

In the flicker of the sweetest smile.

We were married in spring,

You know i wouldn't change a thing,

Without that innocent kiss,

What a life I'd have missed.

If you'd not took a chance,

On a little romance,

When i wasn't expecting that.

Time doesn't take long,

Three kids up and gone,

I wasn't expecting that.

When the nurses they came,

Said "it's come back again",

I wasn't expecting that.

Then you closed your eyes,

You took my heart by surprise,

I wasn't expecting that
