Lyrics

Unexpected Delight

[Verse 1: Laura Darlington]

Made a connection on a connecting flight

A window seat had unexpected delight

[Verse 2: Laura Darlington]

Business turned pleasure with a chance meeting

Our encounter was epic but fleeting

A lifetime together in one night's rendez-vous

We swore to keep in touch but didn't follow through

[?: Laura Darlington]

I often wonder what could have been

In another what, where and when
