I won’t pretend I’ve been desolate 00:11

I won’t pretend I’ve been blue 00:17

It happened so quickly 00:22

One second it hit me 00:25

I’ve fallen quite hard over you 00:28

I won't pretend I’ve been anxious 00:34

Just like I’ve always been 00:40

This time it’s sticking 00:46

And time just stops ticking 00:48

When I have my arms around you 00:51

Four leaf clovers and lucky dimes 00:57

Coincidences and cosmic signs 01:03

Have proved that I am quite naive 01:08

I’m falling fast 01:19

Filling gravity 01:25

And all that I see is serendipity 01:30

Ran into you on the corner 01:42

Of 90 and Central Park West 01:47

Oh, how it thrilled me 01:53

I thank the big city 01:55

And this I will rarely confess 01:58

In years when we’re losing our memory 02:04

The world’s taken leaps over time 02:10

I hope that you’ll look at me like I’m still 23 02:15

Hope that you’ll still be mine 02:21

Four leaf clovers and lucky dimes 02:27

Coincidences and cosmic signs 02:32

Have proved that I am quite naive 02:38

I’m falling fast 02:48

Filling gravity 02:54

I swear that this time it’s serendipity 02:59

Lyrics:

[English]

I won’t pretend I’ve been desolate

I won’t pretend I’ve been blue

It happened so quickly

One second it hit me

I’ve fallen quite hard over you

I won't pretend I’ve been anxious

Just like I’ve always been

This time it’s sticking

And time just stops ticking

When I have my arms around you

Four leaf clovers and lucky dimes

Coincidences and cosmic signs

Have proved that I am quite naive

I’m falling fast

Filling gravity

And all that I see is serendipity

Ran into you on the corner

Of 90 and Central Park West

Oh, how it thrilled me

I thank the big city

And this I will rarely confess

In years when we’re losing our memory

The world’s taken leaps over time

I hope that you’ll look at me like I’m still 23

Hope that you’ll still be mine

Four leaf clovers and lucky dimes

Coincidences and cosmic signs

Have proved that I am quite naive

I’m falling fast

Filling gravity

I swear that this time it’s serendipity
