[Verse 1]

It was only a smile

But my heart it went wild

I wasn't expecting that

Just a delicate kiss

Anyone could have missed

I wasn't expecting that

Did I mis-read the sign

Your hand slipped into mine

I wasn't expecting that

You spent the night in my bed

You woke up and you said

"I wasn't expecting that"

[Chorus]

I thought love wasn't meant to last

I thought you were just passing through

If i ever get the nerve to ask

What did i get right to deserve somebody like you?

I wasn't expecting that

[Verse 2]

It was only a word

It was almost mis-heard

I wasn't expecting that

But it came without fear

A month turned into a year

I wasn't expecting that

[Chorus]

I thought love wasn't meant to last

Honey, I thought you were just passing through

If i ever get the nerve to ask

What did I get right to deserve somebody like you?

I wasn't expecting that

[Bridge]

Oh isn't it strange

How a life can be changed

In the flicker of the sweetest smile

We were married in spring

You know I wouldn't change a thing

Without that innocent kiss

What a life I'd have missed

[Verse 3]

If you'd not took a chance

On a little romance

When I wasn't expecting that

Time doesn't take long

Three kids up and gone

I wasn't expecting that

When the nurses they came

Said "it's come back again"

I wasn't expecting that

Then you closed your eyes

You took my heart by surprise

I wasn't expecting that
