Sarah Brightman - The unexpected song

I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I don't know what is going on
Can't work it out at all
Whatever made you choose me
I just can't believe my eyes
You look at me as though
You couldn't bear to lose me

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing


Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lyrics: Don Black.
Show: "Song and dance" (1982).
This was originally written as Variation 5 of "Variantions" (1978), but when this was combined with "Tell me on a Sunday" as "Song and dance", lyrics by Don Black were set to it for its television premiere by Sarah Brightman in 1984. Although a highlight of Sarah's concert programme, it has never been recorded with a full orchestra. [from the CD-booklet]

From: Surrender, The unexpected songs (1995)
and The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection (1997).

Source of the lyrics: written down myself.
