Now And Then

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.

Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love

You can't do a thing about it [3x]

In you I saw someone that I recognized

Had no idea what was in your mind

I met your eyes and I was hypnotized

I let our lives become entwined

Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love

You can't do a thing about it

Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love

You can't do a thing about it

I feel so badly Darlin' all the time

I have tortured you so long

But I am helpless in this pantomime

I am aware that I was wrong

Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love

You can't do a thing about it [3x]

For though you knew that I was twice your age

To make you laugh seemed you enough

I thought we'd love and then and then you'd turn the page

I'd have to suffer your rebuff

And it was me who had the most to gain

Despite the fact that I now have lost

The only love that ever caused me pain

I feel like a double head was tossed

Now and the you see a soul and you fall in love

And you can't do a thing about it
