Joy Williams Album: Every Moment: The Best Of Joy Williams Track: By Surprise
By Surprise Lyrics
Words and Music by Jesse Butterworth and Joy Williams
I've got a secret to tell A midnight confession I love the life that I lead But it's no obsession
Because I'm waiting, anticipating Watching for Your return You'll come and get me You know I'm ready Enjoyed my stay, but You'll steal me away
CHORUS Like a thief in the night Like a runaway train Like a first class, lightning fast hurricane I'll keep my ear to the ground And my eyes to the sky I'm ready now but somehow I know You'll take me by surprise
So I'll keep spreading the word To everybody Until the masses have heard About that party
Because I'm waiting, anticipating Watching for Your return You'll come and get me You know I'm ready Enjoyed my stay, but You'll steal me away
CHORUS
Cause I R.S.V.P.'d on the invitation I sent it care of the blood That saved me the spot With the One who will come
