Sometimes the snow comes down in june sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon I see the passion in your eyes sometimes It's all a big surprise 'cause there was a time when all I did was wish you'd tell me this was love It's not the way I hoped or how I planned but some how it's enough and now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place just when I thought our chance had passed you go and save the best for last all of the night you came to me when so silly girl have set you free you wondered how you'd make it through I wondered what was wrong with you 'cause how could you give your love to someone else and share your dreams with me sometimes the very thing your looking for is the one thing you can't see and now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place just when I thought our chance had passed you go and save the best for last sometimes the very thing you're looking for is the one thing you can't see sometimes the snow comes down in june sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon just when I thought our chance had passed you go and save the best for last you went and saved the best for last
