Simple, fun song to remind you that you never know what, or who, you'll encounter with each new, exciting day.
lyrics
There’s an old saying
And it’s worth repeating
Don’t give up when the going gets tough
Just cuz you’re feelin down
Doesn’t mean the end is now
So get up strut your stuff
I couldn’t help but notice you noticing me
And the way you illuminated everything
If there’s a chance that you’ll want to run away with me
Then I’m glad to be, alive to make you happy
I could’ve met you on a Monday
I could’ve met you in another state
I could’ve met you many kinds of ways,
But here you are, right in front of me
If you’re only after finer things
Like caviar and diamond rings
Well, making plans with me might not be in the cards
See, I don’t have a million bucks
But I know how to have fun
Hang around, you’ll see, all the things that can’t be bought
I couldn’t help but notice you noticing me
And the way you illuminated everything
If there’s a chance that you’ll want to run away with me
Then I’m glad to be, alive to make you happy
I could’ve met you on the subway
I could’ve met you in a marketplace
I could’ve met you many kinds of ways,
But here you are, right in front of me
I could’ve met you on a jet plane
I could’ve met you on a holiday
I could’ve met you many kinds of ways,
But here you are, right in front of me
I couldn’t help but notice you noticing me
And the way you electrified everything
If there’s a chance that you’ll want to run away with me
Then I’m proud to be, the one to make you happy
I could’ve met you in my old age
I could’ve only met you in my dreams
I could’ve met you many kinds of ways,
But here you are, right in front of me
