Still It Takes Me by Surprise

It can be strange in the world we live in So many things are not how they appear We sit and talk of what it doesn't matter The meaning of the words we use hides behind the sound Yet still it takes me by surprise How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind With thoughts which even now I can't control How simple words and gestures make the world seem right? No matter what they say No matter what they say It's hard to believe once we met as strangers Not knowing of the life that we would share You lead me on through new ways unfamiliar Or down a road we traveled many times before Yet still it takes me by surprise How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind With thoughts which even now I can't control How simple words and gestures make the world seem right? No matter what they say No matter what they say The years go by older yet no wiser Our hearts and minds remain as they once were And after all the time that we have been together So many times we must have been this way before Yet still it takes me by surprise How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind With thoughts which even now I can't control How simple words and gestures make the world seem right? No matter what they say No matter what they say --- Still It Takes Me By Surprise - Tony Banks
