Our Surprise
by Leum Monroe and Robbie Robinson

Would I stand near the ocean just to hear you cry?
Would I bend at the river just to hear you sigh?
So is it true, you can see me there?
This and more, my love, we will share.

Would I give it all I’ve got and never wonder why?
This and more, my love, bye and bye.

We each have known the sadness love can find,
But we haven’t lost the gladness in our mind.
We’re ready now to make our way
And trust the love we found today.

Would I give it all I’ve got and never wonder why
This and more, my love, bye and bye.

If we find ourselves seeing in each other’s eyes,
This and more, my love, our surprise.
If we had it all to do again, we’d do the same and not pretend.
We’re better knowing not just how the story ends. We’ll find out then.
