It Happens In Real Life
A classic boy meets girl story
On a summer night
Under a bright yellow
moon so bright
This isn’t something by Shakespeare
Well it’s got a twist
That comes right out of the blue
It happens in real life
It’s crazy but it’s true
I knew the moment I laid eyes on you
Proven that the poets all were right
It happens in real life
I watched this scene in the movies a thousand times
I saw myself playing the part in my mind
My wildest dreams and imaginations
Just couldn’t come close
To where you’ve taken my heart
It happens in real life
It’s crazy but it’s true
I knew the moment I laid eyes on you
Knowing that the poets all were right
It happens in real life
Just the way you stood there smiling
Hit me like a bolt of lightening
Now everything was new but still
Every word was so familiar
It happens in real life
Now I know at last love at first sight
It happens in real life
It’s crazy but it’s true
I knew the moment I laid eyes on you
Proven that the poets all were right
It happens in real life
Oh it happens in real life
A classic boy meets girl story
About a thousand times
It happens in real life
It happens in real life
