"Could It Happen To Me?" lyrics

"Could It Happen To Me?"

Do you know what it means to me
To delight in your company?
Could it happen to me?

Do you know what I'm certain of?
I would love to fall in love
Could it happen to me?

Hey, won't you look at me?
Now I'm cracked wide open, I can't conceal
My all-over trembling, I'm acting strange
And while you're out of reach, I never change

God knows, I'm beside myself
If a tear's a crime then I must confess
My guilty secret, I'm not ashamed
Take me as I am, an average man

Oh boy, is it getting rough
When my old world charm isn't quiet enough
I'd throw you cantos, I'd jazz 'em up
When I lay me down, you don't pick up

What's more, it's a crying shame
Only this time no one but myself to blame
All I touch turns to dust
It's right there in my cards, I ought to cut

Let us sing of the tortured heart
And the lonely soul in this world apart
As he plays a fear, takes a little pain
And move our separate ways again

Is it easy to say "I do"?
At this moment, I love you
See beyond me, it's true

Now that evening is closing in
Should I light that fire again?
Could it happen to me?
Did it happen to you?
