The boy meets the girl
Somewhere in a crowd
Maybe there're no rockets
But the sound of love is loud

Weeks of careful persuasion
She begins to fall in love
Nothing worth the nobel
Nothing there to change the world

Life has a strange way of making you smile
Sometimes you just wanna laugh at least for a while
Life has a strange way of spinning you round
Sometimes your heart beats so loud you don't hear a sound

Before they have a chance
To let their love grow old
She meets another boy
Or so the story goes

He's standing at a distance
To the sound of wedding bells
Now his heart is breaking
Cause she'll marry someone else

Life has a strange way of letting you down
Time has a crazy way of losing what you found
Life has a strange way of spinning you round
Sometimes you don't know which way is up which way is down

Maybe thirty years have passed
Maybe people never change
When she sees him at the café
She begins to feel so strange

So they have a drink or two
He finds out her husband died
So they both look out the windows
And they both let out a sigh

Life has a strange way of letting you down
Time has a crazy way of losing what you found
Life has a strange way of spinning you round
Sometimes you don't know which way is up which way is down
Sometimes your heart beats so loud you don't hear a sound
