Lyrics
It Could Happen to You 1943 - Jimmy Van Heusen / Johnny Burke Hide your heart from sight Lock your dreams at night It could happen to you Don't count stars Or you might stumble Someone drops a sigh And down you tumble Keep an eye on spring Run when church bells ring It could happen to you All I did was wonder How your arms would be And it happened to me
