"I never believed that I?d date a man
With whom I could spend
The rest of my life.
I never believed in some charming prince
Or the man of my dreams.
And since I never believed that any of that crap was true,
imagine my surprise when i met you
I met you and it?s chocolates and its bells and its birds
And it?s words like ?rapture"" and ?joy?
And boy I couldn?t believe it.
But I always thought that sooner or later
You?d somehow slip up and say something dumb,
Some thoughtless remark,
But I?d suddenly pause and you?d be nothing special,
Because I always believed that no one could stay so good.
Imagine my surprise when you could and you did
And got better and better while I just sat by falling deeper
And then again I couldn?t believe it
But I woke up one day and I saw my defenses-
My well thought out, carefully chosen defenses,
My iron clad hardboiled insoluble wall
And layer by layer by layer it melted away.
And I still can?t believe I met a man
With whom i could spend the rest of my life.
I still can?t believe that you?re really gone,
That the man of my dreams is gone.
I still can?t believe it never occurred to me
I might not be the dream for you.
Imagine my surprise."
