The table's set and covered in white linen

There's a ring in my pocket, and music in the air

Just a few more minutes, and she will be arriving

My hands are shaking, cause I just can't wait



The whole room illuminates as she enters through the doorway

It's just like a spotlight from heaven is shining down

I know she never, never thought this day was coming

Cause I've always said I'd never settle down



Sometimes life is surprising

And people's hearts can change

Commitment doesn't scare me anymore

You know she's waited on me forever

And now I finally know for sure

That life is surprising

And my heart belongs to her



I see her tears as she comes a little closer

She pulls me up before my knee can hit the floor

She says she's sorry but she's fallen for another

She just couldn't wait around for me no more



Sometimes life is surprising

And people's hearts can change

And I'd give anything to keep her here with me

All she wanted was me forever

But she's more than I deserve

Life is surprising,

And my heart belongs to her

Yeah life is surprising

And my heart belongs to her



I should have told her so much sooner that she was all I'd never need

I guess I never thought that she would fall out of love with me



But sometimes life is surprising

And people's hearts can change

And I'd give anything to keep her here with me

All she wanted was me forever

But she's more than I deserve

Life is surprising

And my heart belongs to her

Yeah life is surprising,

And my heart belongs to her



But she's more than I deserve

Life is surprising

And my heart belongs to

Yeah life is surprising,

And my heart belongs to her
