Just One Elevator Ride

What would have happened
If I hadn’t taken that car
Would I have bumped into her
Or even seen her from afar
One minute too soon
Would have been a mistake
I met the perfect woman
And not a minute too late
C
Just one elevator ride
And I knew right away
I wanted her to share my life
Oh, what a beautiful day
With just one look in her eyes
I knew fate was on my side
She changed my whole existence
With just one elevator ride

The years had gone by
It never once was a blur
We shared a wonderful life
We realized how lucky we were
At times she needed help
Cause she’d gotten so frail
She was still the perfect woman
And time had treated us well
C2
With just one elevator ride
We knew right away
We wanted to share our lives
Oh, what a beautiful day
With just one look in our eyes
We knew fate was on our side
We changed our whole existence
With just one elevator ride

I ride this car alone, now
Knowing that she's gone,
But, I take her flowers
And keep the memories strong
I remember:
C3
Just one elevator ride
And I knew right away
I wanted you to share my life
Oh, what a beautiful day
With just one look in your eyes
I knew fate was on my side
You changed my whole existence
With just one elevator ride

Changed my whole existence
With just one elevator ride
