It Happens to Be Me

It Happens to Be Me - Nat "King" Cole

Someone longs for you

And your caress

He's learning now

How empty arms can be

Someone who used to know

Your kiss not long ago

That someone happens to be me

How he misses you

And must confess

Without you he's

Like driftwood on the sea

He's just a dreamer

Who is still in love with you

That dreamer happens to be me

I'll never know

Just why we parted

It's more than I can comprehend

I only know when you departed

You started a night

That has no end

Perhaps there'll come a time

When you're alone

Your heart still haunted

By a memory

If then you chance to find

There's someone on your mind

I hope it happens to be me

Perhaps there'll come a time

When you're alone

Your heart still haunted

By a memory

If then you chance to find

There's someone on your mind

I hope it happens to be me

I hope it happens to be me
