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 YIOU 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
