Your life is thought to be planned out
Spending time with loved ones you care about
Meeting your soul mate, I’ve no doubt
And listening to children scream and shout
Chorus
It didn’t happen that way
But it will happen so they say
I’m hoping for that day
But it just hasn’t happened that way
A wife that is perfect for me
Working as one in perfect harmony
Strolling hand in hand by the sea
Living a life from a movie
A son with such a perfect smile
Standing out in a crowd with a unique style
All his trouble would be worthwhile
With a laugh we would reconcile
Bridge
Some things in life just don’t come true
And dreaming may be the best you can do
A daughter is her father’s pride
Dreaming seeing her as a beautiful bride
My overprotection won’t hide
My love for her is strong inside
Chorus
It didn’t happen that way
But it will happen so they say
I’m hoping for that day
But it just hasn’t happened that way
It just didn’t happen that way
