She was thinkin' "gosh he's handsome" When he asked, "do you have kids?" D A She could have lied But she didn't have time G All she said was, "she's five" A G D He said, "I saw the car seat, I love kids, Does she have your eyes?" A G And they sat and talked for hours Giving destiny its power G She coulda been afraid to fall in love that night A D A G But she didn't have time G A She could have been afraid to fall in love that night n.c. G A G A D But she didn't have time-ime
