Lyrics
- When I look at you I know I’m lucky
I don’t deserve such a break
Never dreamed that I could be so lucky
I’m so afraid I’ll awake
Chorus
I can’t get over how swell you are
You fell from heaven just like a star
How’d You Happen To Fall For Me?
You’re simply perfect, a dream come true
I’m simply nothing, compared to you
How’d You Happen To Fall For Me?
Life was never so grand
You’ll never know how much you’ve done
It’s something I can’t understand
I only know I’m the luckiest one
A million others around your door
Out of a million, or maybe more
How’d You Happen To Fall For Me?
- Was our meeting simply accidental?
Or was it fate that we met?
Lucky you were feeling sentimental
I feel the thrill of it yet
