By Surprise - Peter,Paul & Mary
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I know it sounds funny,
But it's true...
I get so busy I forget
I'm in love with you
And every every every
Every every every now and then
We need to get away to get close again.
I know it's true...
I get so busy I forget
I'm in love with you
And every every now and then
We need to get away to get close again.
