Why Can't It Happen To Me?

Sequenced by Dr J Pitt-Payne. Karaoke by Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

The starlight and the glamour of the deep night
seem'd to elude my solitude.

Music soft and sentimental music,
I should be gay but I'm distrait,

Happy lovers are passing by,
but we're alone my heart and I.

Oh, why can't it happen to me,
If it happens to others,
can't it happen to me?

What must I do to be one
of those fortunate lovers?
Can't I have any fun?

Maybe it's a thing you can't hurry
but it's hard not to worry,
when you're up on the shelf.

How long must I suffer the Springtime,
what's the good of the Springtime,
when you're all by yourself?

How soon will that lucky day be?
When my heart is another's

must romance pass me by,
Oh, why can't it happen to me?

Oh, why can't it happen to me,
If it happens to others,
can't it happen to me?

What must I do to be one
of those fortunate lovers?
Can't I have any fun?

Maybe it's a thing you can't hurry
but it's hard not to worry,
when you're up on the shelf.

How long must I suffer the Springtime,
what's the good of the Springtime,
when you're all by yourself?

How soon will that lucky day be?
When my heart is another's

must romance pass me by,
Oh, why can't it happen to me?
