[Verse 1]
It was only a smile
But my heart it went wild
I wasn't expecting that
Just a delicate kiss
Anyone could have missed
I wasn't expecting that
Did I mis-read the sign
Your hand slipped into mine
I wasn't expecting that
You spent the night in my bed
You woke up and you said
"I wasn't expecting that"
[Chorus]
I thought love wasn't meant to last
I thought you were just passing through
If i ever get the nerve to ask
What did i get right to deserve somebody like you?
I wasn't expecting that
[Verse 2]
It was only a word
It was almost mis-heard
I wasn't expecting that
But it came without fear
A month turned into a year
I wasn't expecting that
[Chorus]
I thought love wasn't meant to last
Honey, I thought you were just passing through
If i ever get the nerve to ask
What did I get right to deserve somebody like you?
I wasn't expecting that
[Bridge]
Oh isn't it strange
How a life can be changed
In the flicker of the sweetest smile
We were married in spring
You know I wouldn't change a thing
Without that innocent kiss
What a life I'd have missed
[Verse 3]
If you'd not took a chance
On a little romance
When I wasn't expecting that
Time doesn't take long
Three kids up and gone
I wasn't expecting that
When the nurses they came
Said "it's come back again"
I wasn't expecting that
Then you closed your eyes
You took my heart by surprise
I wasn't expecting that

“The song ‘Wasn’t Expecting That,’ which is my new single, is really a couple, and from the moment they meet, to the moment they part, and the whole life that goes in between it, and how each stage of the love that they have for each other takes you aback, takes you by surprise, and how beautiful th...
