Lyrics

My future seemed a far from bright one;
Seems that love led my heart a merry chase.
I never hoped to find the right one,
But I still kept on hoping just in case.
And then fate brought us face to face.

Chorus
How in the world did it happen that I found you?
You of all people!
Who would have dreamed you were hoping to find me too.
You of all people?
Did a miracle bring us together?
Was it love or that something called fate?
Well, whatever brought us together
Isn’t it great? Just great!
Oh, you seemed to know I was searching for you,
But how? Who could have told you?
I seemed to know I would love you as I do now,
Now that I hold you.
Chances were one in a million
But sometimes a longshot comes through
[a dream does come through].
You of all people, imagine my finding you!
