By Surprise Lyrics
The song By Surprise is performed by Peter Paul & Mary in the album named Carry It On in the year 2004 .
I'd like to take you by surprise at the grocery store
Grab you by the hand and step on the electric door
Leave the shopping cart right where it is
I betcha somebody's got the same list
I wanna take us away from all this to a distant shore.
I'd leave the car by the curb with the motor on
The tape deck playin' our favorite love song
And you'd say "what in the world? "
And smile just like a little girl
And I'd say "i can't tell you now but it won't be long."
Chorus:
I know it sounds funny, but it's true...
I get so busy I forget I'm in love with you
And every now and then we need to get away to get close again.
Up in the air in a window seat
Your head on my shoulder and a blanket around our feet
We could leave the kids at home
And if you get worried we could telephone
We need a weekend of fun for under two hundred dollars complete.
(chorus)
There we would be in a sunny land
We'd lie on the beach and you could wiggle your toes in the sand
A tropical drink late at night
And a midnight dip if the temperature's right
The best things turn out better if they never were planned.
(chorus)
