Lyric
Well, I used to sit at home and wonder why, why, whyAll the happiness in life just passed me byI didn’t think in all the world there could ever beOne girl in a million who was meant for me.Then along came you walkin’ down the streetThen along came you, you knocked me off my feet.I never thought I’d find a girl that ever would be trueSomewhere outta nowhere along came you.I had just about forgotten how to smileYou could see my misery for a country mileUsed to being lonely surrendered to the blueThen somehow outta nowhere along came you.Then along came you walkin’ down the streetThen along came you, you knocked me off my feet.I never thought I’d find a girl that ever would be trueSomewhere outta nowhere along came you.Then along came you walkin’ down the streetThen along came you, you knocked me off my feet.I never thought I’d find a girl that ever would be trueSomewhere outta nowhere along came you
