It Happens to Be Me Songtext

von Nat King Cole

Someone longs for you and your caress,
He's learning now how empty arms can be.
Someone who used to know
Your kiss not long ago,
That someone happens to be me.

How he misses you, and must confess
Without you, he's like driftwood on the sea.
He's just a dreamer who
Is still in love with you,
That dreamer happens to be me.

I'll never know just why we parted,
It's more than I can comprehend.
I only know when you departed,
You started a night that has no end.

Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart's still haunted by a memory.
If then, you chance to find
There's someone on your mind,
I hope it happens to be me.

Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart's still haunted by a memory.
If then, you chance to find
There's someone on your mind,
I hope it happens to be me...

I hope it happens to be me.
