You'd be surprised at all that I've become
You'd be surprised, I've changed while you've been gone,
And I learned so much more from you than I could ever say
If you were here, I think that you'd stay

You'd be surprised how far these arms can reach
You'd be surprised there's a promise I can keep
Would you believe that I seldom fall to pieces anymore?
If you were here, you'd like what you saw

You'd be surprised my life is often sweet
You'd be surprised it's you who brings me peace
And for some unearthly reason it takes losing you to see,
If you were here, I'd know just what you'd need

You'd be surprised I've loved you all along
You'd be surprised I now confess when I am wrong,
And I see the world around me in a slightly softer shade
If you were here, you wouldn't walk away

You'd be surprised if you were here
We'd make time for all that's disappeared
And I would hold you like I never could
You'd be surprised if you were here
We'd make it right; there'd be no tears,
And you'd confide in me and I'd be there
I'd be there

You'd be surprised at all that I've become
You'd be surprised
