(Fred Carter)

I didn't plan to fall in love with you
It just happened that way
And all the time inside my heart
I knew that I'd regret it some day.

Now I can't stand to be away from you
But I'm alone every day
I didn't plan to fall in love with you
It just happened that way.

I saw you and I loved you
Why I'll never know
There wasn't one chance in a million
That our love would grow.

You were too far up above me
Any fool could plainly see
But like driftwood on the river
I floated on helplessly.

I didn't plan to fall in love with you
It just happened that way
And all the time inside my heart
I knew that I'd regret it some day...
