lyrics

In unexpected places
In unexpected ways
After many hard fought battles
Game you learned how not to play.

In unexpected faces
At unexpected times
Unexpected love walks through the door
And take you by surprise.

CHO: And don’t you let it go now
Don’t you let it get away
Open up your heart now
Let love find it’s way to you, you, you, you.

In the unexpected quiet
Under unexpected skies
To an unexpecting heart love comes
In unexpected guise.

Somewhere on some journey
On some unexpected road
Love will overtake you
Unexpected, unbestowed
