ONE OF THESE DAYS
I've been hoping to see your silhouette in the doorway
Even though I know you're miles away
Just to run like a fool into your waiting arms
Couldn't you surprise me one of these days
One of these days you might surprise me
Make my heart stop -- just for a while
And one of these days when I'm coming home so tired
Will you make my heart leap -- ah, at the sight of your smile
And I've been hoping to see your truck in the driveway
Even though I know that there isn't a chance
Still there's always that one, that one in a million
Miracles can happen in the game of romance
And one of these days you might surprise me
Make my heart stop -- just for a while
And one of these days when I'm coming home so tired
Will you make my heart leap -- ah, at the sight of your smile
Maybe you've been fired and they've sent you home early
Maybe the work at home just got done
Or maybe you've found yourself feeling lonely
And had to come see me, you son-of-a-gun
One of these days you might surprise me
Make my heart stop -- just for a while
And one of these days when I'm coming home so tired
Will you make my heart leap -- ah, at the sight of your smile
But there's always more work and I know you won't get fired
And if you get lonely you'll just get by
And life isn't much like a movie anyway
Still there's a hope in this old heart of mine
That one of these days you might surprise me
Make my heart stop -- just for a while
And one of these days when I'm coming home so tired
Could you make my heart leap -- ah, at the sight of your smile
One of these days you might surprise me
One of these days --ah, one of these days
