--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



When I see you lying there

Like a living answered prayer

There are no words

For what I feel for you

My life was once a high trapeze

You pulled me down

And gave me peace

That's something no one else

Could ever do

And on nights like tonight

It scares me recalling

How close I came to falling

But fools get lucky

Fortune must like me

When people ask where you came from

I tell them

Fools get lucky

Destiny likes me

It must be one of nature's rules

Love like yours

Should save the fools like me

When I see the good times shine

On this wayward life of mine

I tell the world

It's all because of you

And fools get lucky

Fortune must like me

When people ask where you came from

I tell them

Fools get lucky

Destiny likes me

It must be one of nature's rules

Love like yours

Should save the fools like me
