Lyrics

How On Earth

Dreams come true in heaven all the time

Baby, how on earth?

She takes my hand and I feel like I am home

She understands if I need to be alone

When I am down and can't go on

She fills my heart with song

We see it in the movies all the time

Baby how on earth

Did we stumble upon this storyline?

Baby how on earth

Did we pull it off, so green, so unrehearsed

Baby how on earth?

When she is sad, there is so much hope inside

When she is glad all the tears flow to her eyes

When I'm away I think of her

To a dream my mind wanders

Dreams come true in heaven all the time

But baby how on earth

Did we happen upon this love divine?

Baby how on earth

Did we find us?

Down here where people get hurt

Baby how on earth?

Yes, how on earth did we ever find us?

We thought tomorrow was behind us

So glad to be wrong, ooh

She fills my heart with song

We see it in the movies all the time

Baby how on earth

Did we stumble upon this storyline?

Baby how on earth?

Dreams come true in heaven all the time

Baby how on earth?

Did we happen upon this love divine

Baby how on earth

Did we find us?

Down here where people get hurt

Baby how on earth?

Baby how on earth?

Oh, baby how on earth?
