Jimmy Van Heusen - It Could Happen to You

Copied!

(Verse)
Do you believe in charms and spells
In mystic words and magic wands and wishing wells?
Don't look so wise, don’t share your scorn
Watch yourself, I warn
You

(Chorus)
Hide your heart from sight
Lock your dreams at night
It could happen to you
Don't count stars or you might stumble
Someone drops a sigh, and down you tumble
Keep an eye on spring
Run when church bells ring
It could happen to you

All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me
