Well surprise, surprise, surpriseYeah surprise, surprise, surpriseWell surprise, surprise, come on open your eyesAnd let your love shine down. (2)

Well today is your birthdayWe've travelled so far we twoSo let's blow out the candles on your cakeAnd we'll raise a glass or twoAnd when the sun comes out tomorrowIt'll be the start of a brand new dayAnd all that you have wished for I know will come your way.

Well surprise, surprise, surprise ...

In the hollow of the evening, as you lay your head to restMay the evening stars scatter a shining crown upon your breastIn the darkness of the morning, as the sky struggles to lightMay the rising sun caress and bless your soul throughout your life.

(SOME MUSIC) Well surprise, surprise, surprise ... (2)

Surprise, surprise, come on open your eyes And let your love shine down.

Surprise, SurpriseBy Bruce
