Lyrics
HAPPY ACCIDENT
I WAS TOTALLY CONTENT,
JUST RELOUNGING AT OLDE ANGEL,
MY BEER AND ME, FEELIN' FREE,
ACTING COOL, SHOOTIN' POOL.
THEN I SAW A VISION, PONYTAIL OF AUBURN HAIR,
BLUE SUNDRESS WITH FLOWERS THAT STOPPED YOU TO STARE.
HER GREEN EYES WERE TROUBLE, MY OH MY,
SCENT OF DAISIES AS SHE WALKED BY.
OOOH, SHE WALKED ON BY.
THAT GIRL HAD A LOVE OF LIFE IN HER EYES,
SMILIN' BRIGHT AS A JAR FULL OF FIREFLIES,
AND IT DREW ME TO HER LIGHT,
SHE WASN'T A MODEL, WASN'T RAIL THIN,
BUT YOU BREATHED OUT SADNESS AS YOU TOOK HER IN.
A HAPPY ACCIDENT GOT ME THERE THAT NIGHT,
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET,
OH, NO...I'LL NEVER FORGET.
WELL I ASKED HER TO DANCE, AND SHE SAID "LET'S GO".
HELD ON TIGHT AS WE FLEW 'CROSS THE FLOOR.
SHE DROVE ME PLUM CRAZY...STILL DOES NOW,
IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE WE TOOK OUR VOWS,
OH, YOU KNOW, AND I STILL REMEMBER.
THAT GIRL HAD A LOVE OF LIFE IN HER EYES,
SMILIN' BRIGHT AS A JAR FULL OF FIREFLIES,
AND IT DREW ME TO HER LIGHT,
SHE WASN'T A MODEL, WASN'T RAIL THIN,
BUT YOU BREATHED OUT SADNESS AS YOU TOOK HER IN.
A HAPPY ACCIDENT GOT ME THERE THAT NIGHT,
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET,
OH, NO...I'LL NEVER FORGET.
WELL, SHE HAD CLASS WITH A...LITTLE BIT OF SASS AND I, HAD TO MAKE HER MINE.
THAT GIRL HAD A LOVE OF LIFE IN HER EYES,
SMILIN' BRIGHT AS A JAR FULL OF FIREFLIES,
AND IT DREW ME TO HER LIGHT,
SHE WASN'T A MODEL, WASN'T RAIL THIN,
BUT YOU BREATHED OUT SADNESS AS YOU TOOK HER IN.
A HAPPY ACCIDENT GOT ME THERE THAT NIGHT,
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET,
OH, NO...I'LL NEVER FORGET.
SHE STILL HAS A LOVE OF LIFE IN HER EYES,
SMILIN' BRIGHT AS A JAR FULL OF FIREFLIES,
AND IT DRAWS ME TO HER LIGHT,
SHE'S MY SUPERMODEL AND SOULMATE TWIN,
LOVE HER MORE NOW THAN I DID THEN.
A HAPPY ACCIDENT GOT US THERE THAT NIGHT,
THE NIGHT THAT CHANGED MY LIFE,
THE NIGHT THAT CHANGED MY LIFE.
