Surprisin'
 
Surprisin' surprisin' 
that you should come along,
that you should come along,
that summer day just when you did . . .
 
Surprisin' surprisin' 
that you should smile at me,
and I should smile at you,
that summer day just as we did . . .
 
Two strangers for a moment, 
then we wandered down the lane,
and found a spot of shelter,
from the sudden fallin' rain . . .
 
Surprisin' surprisin' 
to wake as from a dream,
to wake as from a dream,
and find the sun was high above . . .
 
. . . but it was not surprisin' 
when we found we were in love . . .
 
< instrumental verse >
