I knew that when it happened, it would happen this way I lie awake at night and do my dreamin’ in the day If I had a lot of money, I’d give it all away Just to hear her say, "I’m with you all the way" And I knew it would happen this way And I knew that when it happened, it could happen like this A kind of gauge at this stage of my metamorphosis When I can go by what I sense without intense analysis So leaping from the precipice into the great abyss I knew it could happen this way And you know that when it happens, it can happen in a minute And if love appears at all, you’ll fall right in it You can’t be a hero if you’ve got no heroine It is so hard to begin it when you try to discipline it Let it happen Let it happen And you know that when it happens, it can happen one way On a lovely little planet in the Milky Way When we say to one another, "Let’s not fight, let’s play!" And co-create a brighter day where it’s just us, not we and they And you know it can happen this way
