I never meant for this to happen Ain't it strange how worlds collide But I knew that very moment She was something I never would survive Forces of nature that can't be denied
I had watched her from a distance Starry eyes and silver hands Never thoughts she'd ever notice Guess I'm blaming magic and circumstance I'll just surrender and leave it to chance ♪ Covered in golden swansdown Gently, she stole my heart Covered in golden swansdown She knew I was losing right from the start ♪ I never meant for this to happen But I dreamt from time to time That I'd find a way to see her Just so I could leave all those dreams behind Duly accepting she'd never be mine Covered in golden swansdown Gently, she stole my heart Covered in golden swansdown She knew I was losing right from the start ♪ There's a light still radiating out of her Although she is sweetly unaware As I know I'll never find the proper words I'll embrace the silence that we share ♪ Covered in golden swansdown Gently, she stole my heart Covered in golden swansdown She knew I was losing right from the start
