It Happens All the Time

R Becker



I've heard love turn into a rhyme

it can be like
very fine wine

I've seen stars
Do something like dancing


Give me a chance
I'll convince you it's true

impossibilities are for you



It's not just a line
It happens all the time

the sun is shining
Medium rare


everyone is keeping me
Up in the air


life spins you around

it feels a lot like dancing

make a bet
I'm raising you two

you can find somebody like you

two can rhyme
It happens all the time



life's up then down
No one knows where it's going

It can have a surprise
That'll hit you
Right between the eyes


I'll be your friend
That's part of the deal

I'll keep your secrets

My lips are sealed

I'll play you a song
That goes along with dancing

you may never win the lottery
or a trip to the zoo

but you can win
somebody like you


look for a sign
it happens all the time


life's up then down
noone knows where its going
it can have a surprise
that hits you
right between the eyes


someone can steal your heart
and never do time
you're a prisoner of love
but what is the crime?

love's a crime
that happens all the time
