Original Lyrics--> "It Can Happen" by SDG DiamondHead

"It Can Happen" is a song lyric I wrote with a particular singer in mind.  And that is Mr. Tony Bennett.  I consider Mr. Bennett one of the great singers of our time, and a singer who is so well-seasoned in what he does, that his style and approach to a song seems almost effortless.  It's refreshing to see a singer like Tony who is never given in to struggling with a song.  He knows his way around song arrangements and because he's so relaxed in the way he delivers a song, his audience is also at ease, relaxed and they probably obtain more enjoyment from his performances.  And by the way, this style comes through in his recordings also.  A style like this usually comes with time and lots of experience which Mr. Tony Bennett has.  He's a delight to listen to and I'm sure he's a delight for songwriters to work with.  So, this song lyric I wrote with him in mind, taking into consideration his ease in delivering a song, and the way he phrases and even the types of words you might expect to hear in a Tony Bennett song.  In short, I tailor-made these lyrics for this great singer.  And, as you read the lyrics if you listen closely, you might even be able to hear in your inner ear, Mr. Bennett singing this song.  In other words, you might be able to picture him singing this song if you heard it complete with the music.  I want to also add that in the style of the classic pop songs, I've included a verse to this song lyric--as I usually do with my other songs.  Verses are a good way to introduce the refrain and I'm as fond of song verses as I am of refrains.  So, here now is my original lyric styled for Tony Bennett entitled "It Can Happen" lyrics by DiamondHead.

"It Can Happen"
lyrics by SDG DiamondHead

(mood slow, jazzy)
Verse:


Just yesterday,
I used to say
That love would never, ever come my way.
Somehow I couldn't perceive it--
Somehow I wouldn't believe it.
Then suddenly,
From the blue
I am head over heels in love with you.
Now,
If I were a doubting Thomas before,
(spoken: I can tell you)
I'm not doubting anymore--
For...

Refrain:(slow & jazzy)

Now I can see
That it can happen.
Now I believe
That dreams--
They do come true.
I didn't think a miracle
Would come
From above,
But just the same
That miracle came
And it has given me your love.
Oh...

Now I can touch
What I once could only dream of--
What my doubting heart
Thought fate would never do.
For now,
At last,
I am in love with you.

(Instrumental)

Oh...
Now I can touch
What I dared to only dream of--
What this foolish heart
Thought fate could never do.
For now,
At last,
I am in love...
For now,
At last,
I'm so in love...
For now,
My baby
I'm in love...
With...
You (hold)

--End
