About the song
Adit approached me one day to see if I would/could put lyrics and vocals to the guitar music he had made up. Of course, I agreed to help him out, and the rest, as they say, "is history."
Lyrics
I was walkin' in the sun,
I had my sight,
Set on your eyes,
And from the corner,
I could tell that you were my
Indecent surprise, I,
Gathered all of my composure as I tried,
To walk swiftly by
But then you grabbed my arm,
And you said to me,
(CHORUS)
Hey, beautiful lady,
Saw you smilin' at me,
Couldn't help think to myself,
That you were more than just pretty,
I hope that you would like to,
Maybe have a cup of tea,
Or maybe ride with me,
I'm willing, I'm willing...
So, I spent some time pondering that day,
If I'd return your call,
Because too many times in love I've been the prey,
And victim, I did fall, I,
Didn't want another day to end that way,
But couldn't help recall,
When you grabbed my arm,
And you said to me...
(CHORUS)
Hey, beautiful lady,
Saw you smilin' at me,
Couldn't help think to myself,
That you were more than just pretty,
I hope that you would like to,
Maybe have a cup of tea,
Or maybe ride with me,
I'm willing, I'm willing,
To show you,
The best of life,
I would spend the rest of life
Making it right,
Please believe all of these
Words I say,
I would say them every day
To make you stay,
I want you to be my everything,
Because I know joy you'd bring--
Make my heart sing,
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Can't you see it in MY eyes?
Can't you see it in my eyes,
I would not lie,
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Can't you see it in my eyes--
I flicked a penny in a well tonight.
He said beautiful lady,
Saw you smilin' at me,
Couldn't help think to myself,
That you were more than just pretty,
I hoped that you would like to
Maybe have a cup of tea,
Or maybe ride with me,
I'm willing,
I'm willing...
I had my sight,
Set on your eyes,
And from the corner,
I could tell that you were my
Indecent surprise, I,
Gathered all of my composure as I tried,
To walk swiftly by
But then you grabbed my arm,
And you said to me,
(CHORUS)
Hey, beautiful lady,
Saw you smilin' at me,
Couldn't help think to myself,
That you were more than just pretty,
I hope that you would like to,

Or maybe ride with me,
I'm willing, I'm willing...
So, I spent some time pondering that day,
If I'd return your call,

And victim, I did fall, I,
