Our Surprise
by Leum Monroe

Would I stand near the ocean just to hear your cry?
Would I bend at the river just to hear your sigh?
Would I give all I’ve got, and never wonder why?
This and more, my love, bye and bye.

Is it true that you’re looking for me there?
Could it be, I’m the answer to your prayer?
If we find ourselves seeing through each other’s eyes,
This and more, by love, our surprise.

We’ve each known the sadness love can find,
But we haven’t lost the gladness in our mind.
If we had it all to do again, we’d do the same and not pretend,
We’re better knowing how the story ends.

Is it true I’ve been looking for you there?
Could it be, you’re the answer to my prayer?
If we find ourselves loving without a single care,
This and more, my love, we will share.

We each know the sadness love can find,
But not enough for that to change our minds.
We’re ready now to make our way
And trust the love we found today.
We’re better knowing that we feel this way.

Would I stand near the ocean just to hear your cry?
Would I bend at the river just to hear your sigh?
Would I give all I’ve got and never wonder why?
This and more, my love, bye and bye.
This and more of my love, bye and bye.
