It's A Wonder
Curtis Catie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night the stars arrange themselves like a marching band
But people don’t live that way they do whatever they want to do
And with all the twists and turns we take
It’s a wonder that I found you
In the times when I was on my own, if I’d had the sense
I’d have looked for somebody guileless and true, and we’d have dropped all pretense
And with all that gets in the way
It’s a wonder that I found you
I could spend every single day afraid of losing your love
Or I could spend every night thanking the stars above
But people don’t live that way thinking what they’ve got to lose
On this moonlit night we say
It’s a wonder that I found you
It’s a wonder you love me too
It’s a wonder that I found you
