they taught us kids in school between the recess breaks that the universe just sorta fell together like a big mistake it started with a bang that sent the pieces flying then it cooled and twirled into dinosaurs and dandelioins it was a big mistake to have eyes that see to have love like this inside of me to have lips that smile as i swim your kiss to have minds that will forever every part of this all the moonlight shrouded in the clouds above and the autumn leaves and the falling love the still reflection in the moonlit lake all they said it was a big mistake it was a big mistake now back to science class through the looking glass we were magnifying little ancestors of our ancient past watch em break a couple chromosomes wait a zillion years or so and get an ostrich a jellyfish a kangaroo and a romeo chorus the choreography of a coincidence at the turning point there was eternity behind a moment s glance it was for you and me the timing made us laugh the fact that anyone could find their only one along this darkened path it was a big mistake to have eyes that see to have love like this inside of me to have lips that smile as i swim your kiss to have minds that will forever every part of this all the moonlight shrouded in the clouds above and the autumn leaves and the falling love the still reflection in the moonlit lake all they said it was a big mistake it was a big mistake 1999 midnight ocean bonfire music cindy lou my dear written with jeff penning almo music corp twin creeks music inc jeff pennig and craig bickhardt jaislinn songs sis n bro music company moraine park music group all rights reserved international copyright secured
