Lyrics
It's Happening To You
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.
Well it's the same old song
Boy meets girl
And girl meets boy
They carry on
They close their eyes
And kiss until the world is gone
Oh yes it's true
It's happening to you
You know what they say
They pledge their love forever
Then they add a day
They hold their hands so tight
In the fear
That one might stray
Oh yes it's true
It's happening to you
I loved her
She loved me too
We had a lot of love
Now it's all through
And for a while
Their hearts beat one
As they match each other
Smile for smile
They dance away the night
As they praise
The others style
Oh yes it's true
It's happening to you
