By surprise lyrics

Artist  : Peter, paul & mary 
Song : By surprise
 
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)
