Much To My Surprise Lyrics - Painter Passing Through - Gordon Lightfoot

I saw two dreamers dreamin' 

They almost caused a spark 

I saw two lovers in paradise right back at the start 

I saw two minds in the world set free 

But it almost broke my heart 

Isn't it strange to be right now havin' you close to me? 

Much to my surprise 

I saw two schemes schemin' 

They almost caused a lark 

They were two brave souls on a wild blue spree 

Right back at the park 

They were like two ships 

And they sailed right by each other in the dark 

Wouldn't ya like to be right now 

Out where the actors play? 

So much for your disguise 

I saw two souls out searchin' 

They said their last goodbyes 

And I saw two hearts of passion then 

Much to my surprise 

I saw two hearts on passion bent 

The kind which mystifies 

It is so strange to be right now 

Having you on my knee 

Much to my surprise 

I gotta make you see somehow 

I saw two minds that wandered 

They almost caused a wreck 

They were all checked out for a wild blue sea 

When someone cried hit the deck 

I saw two minds in the world set wise 

But I almost broke my specs 

Wouldn't ya like to be right now 

Out where the actors play 

So much for your disguise 

Much to my surprise
