Serendipity
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It makes no difference if you love or hate her
Whatever you do, it’s all the same
It makes no difference if you just ignore her
Whatever you do, she runs the game
Serendipity said, our eyes would meet without us ever knowing
Serendipity said she don’t care
Serendipity said, our paths would cross without us ever knowing
Serendipity said she don’t care
It makes no difference if you love her or hate her
Whatever you do, it’s all the same
It makes no difference if you just ignore her
Whatever you do, she runs the game
At the tip of a wink, the drop of a hat
At the turning of the card
Serendipity told me, she’d be there
At the spin of a coin, the drop of the bead
At the rolling of the dice
Serendipity told me, she’d be there
Serendipity told me, that I’d find her around the nearest corner
Serendipity told me, that the coast was clear
Serendipity knows I'm spending all my time preparing for her
Serendipity knows, she’s close to here
Serendipity said that if circumstances change, whatever
Serendipity said that she don’t care
Serendipity told me, that she and I could live together
Serendipity tells me, she knows where
It makes no difference if you love her or hate her
Whatever you do, it’s all the same
It makes no difference if you just ignore her
Whatever you do, she runs the game
At the drop of a hat, the tip of a wink
At the turning of the card
Serendipity told me, she’d be there
At the spin of a coin, the drop of the bead
At the rolling of the dice
Serendipity told me, she don’t care
Serendipity, Serendipity said
At the tip of a wink, the drop of the hat, the turn of the card
Serendipity told me, she’d be there, she simply didn’t care at all
The spin of a coin, the skip of the wheel, the roll of the dice
Serendipity told me that she wouldn’t be there
She simply doesn’t care at all
The hair of the dog
Slide me a hair of a dog
Madame Serendipity
Sweet little madame Serendipity
