ANYONE BUT YOU

Anyone But You

Lyrics by Hal Pollock

I always used to tell myself 
I swear that this is true 
If I should ever fall in love
It’s anyone but you 
Then suddenly I found
That I was making eyes at you
And now I just can’t see myself 
With anyone but you
 
Anyone but you 
I always used to say
Anyone but you 
If I fall in love someday 
There’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell 
This ever could be true 
But Hell has frozen over
Here I am in love with you 
 
How did all this happen?
What will become of me?
This simply makes no sense at all
It’s crazy as can be
I never saw it coming
This simply can’t be true 
‘Cause now I find that I can’t live
With anyone but you 
 
That’s just the way love happens
It sneaks right up on you 
You never see it coming
Until suddenly you do 
When one day you are falling  
For someone you always knew 
Knowing it s’posed to be
Just anyone but you 
I always used to tell myself
It’s anyone but you 
Now I find to my surprise
The opposite is true
‘Cause now I find I’m saying
That no other love will do
And how I ever got here
I just haven’t got a clue
 
Love is such a fickle thing Happens when you least expect it to
And sometimes it can happen 
With your anyone but you
The impossible has happened 
This is a brand new day  
There won’t be anyone but you ‘Cause love is here to stay 
 
It’s like Harry said to Sally when love carried him away  
When you find the one you love 
you want your life to start today 
 
Anyone but you
I always used to say
Anyone but you  
If I fall in love someday 
There’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell 
This ever could be true 
But Hell has frozen over
Here I am in love with you
