Lyrics
Opportunity for two
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 had to be me It had to be you
It seemed to be a dream
It happened to be true
A fine futurity for one
A day to make hey A race to be run
Though the blue for you
They say you the one
We might happen to meet
Ain't it sweet when it's a glad song?
Just keep a flappin' your feet to beat the band out of a sad song
God only knows
Which way the wind blows
Could blow us away
So I alway say
My honey don't go
Let's spend today
and dream this away
Like honey to be
It's just you and me
In love for a day
Let's spend today
and dream dis away
Just what could be wrong
To string me along
In love for a day
