Boy Meets Girl

The boy meets the girl Somewhere in a crowd Maybe there're no rockets But the sound of love is loud Weeks of careful persuasion She begins to fall in love Nothing worth the Nobel Nothing there to change the world Life has a strange way of making you smile Sometimes you just wanna laugh, at least for a while Life has a strange way of spinning you round Sometimes your heart beats so loud You don't hear a sound Before they have a chance To let their love grow old She meets another boy Or so the story goes He's standing at a distance To the sound of wedding bells Now his heart is breaking Cause she'll marry someone else Life has a strange way of letting you down Time has a crazy way of losing what you found Life has a strange way of spinning you round Sometimes you don't know which way is up Which way is down Maybe thirty years have passed Maybe people never change When she sees him at the cafe She begins to feel so strange So they have a drink or two He finds out her husband died So they both look out the window And they both let out a sigh Life has a strange way of letting you down Time has a crazy way of losing what you found Life has a strange way of spinning you round Sometimes you don't know which way is up Which way is down Sometimes your heart beats so loud You don't hear a sound
