I got a letter from a friend of mine She said she was just thinking about me She was driving home on an overcast afternoon Underneath a canopy of fall leaves In life there are only a few guarantees The leaves will change every autumn In the springtime, they’ll return You wonder how you ever lived without them Have you ever had something happen That takes you by surprise Reminds you that you are alive And you do, you do indeed feel But me, I’m living from moment to moment One little surprise to the next Somehow you’re like the leaves Always changing but always there You always, yeah you always You always surprise me I called up a friend of mine Said I was just thinking about her I was driving home on a cool clear day Just thanking God for all my blessings Only a few things I know for sure I can’t wait to hold you again I can’t sleep when you’re not around You remind me that everything is ok Have you ever had something happen That takes you by surprise Reminds you, you are alive And you do, you do indeed feel I’m wanting to hold you close It’s surprising how safe you are I know we’re always changing I’m not worried, you’re always there You always, yeah you always You always surprise me You always, yeah you always You always surprise me
