Fly Lyrics

You Are My Beautiful Surprise

The Fly Confession:
I’ve decided to take some time out of my day just to say thank you. Although we just met, the impact that you’ve had on my world cannot be understated. Each day that we have interacted has brought new possibilities and expanded my already wide horizons to even broader and brighter frontiers. For that, I thank you.

Don’t get me wrong though. This is in no way me trying to rush things, or an attempt to overwhelm you with emotions that neither you are ready to receive, nor I am ready to give. Instead this is my way of showing my gratitude for the beautiful surprise that you are.

You may not have known this, but I was THIS close to giving up on love; ready to just throw in the towel and exert the fullness of my energy towards my career. But then, out of nowhere you appeared; gently reminding me of what it’s like to have the best of both worlds in my life. Again, I thank you.

So here we are. Unsure of what God has in store for us. Whatever it may or may not be, I pray that you never forget how much I truly appreciate what you represent in my life. A pleasant … beautiful surprise.

A Fly Question:
Have you ever been pleasantly surprised by a new person entering your life? Meaning, have you ever met someone, and they turn out to far exceed your wildest expectations? Have you ever encountered a beautiful surprise? If so, tell me about it.

Featured Song:

India Arie’s “Beautiful Surprise”

The Lyrics:
It’s like yesterday
I didn’t even know your name
Now today
You’re always on my mind

I never could have predicted that I feel this way
You are beautiful surprise
Intoxicated every time I hear your voice
You’ve got me on a natural high

It’s almost like I didn’t even have a choice
You are a beautiful surprise

Whatever it is you came to teach me
I am here to learn it cause
I believe that we are written in the stars

I don’t know what the future holds
But I’m living in the moment
And I’m thankful for the man that you are, you are, you are

You are everything I ask for in my prayers
So I know my angels brought you to my life
Your energy is healing to my soul
You are a beautiful surprise

You are an inspiration to my life
You are the reason why I smile
You are a beautiful surprise

    Simply beautiful. I love how you express yourself FG. We better never end up in the same place at the same time, because I can’t promise that I’ll control myself :-)

    That was very sweet. And I absolutely love India. Yes, I’ve experienced a beautiful surprise before. He was everything that I wanted in a man. But I was still dealing with my ex, so I let him go (sigh)

    It’s that kind of stuff us girls wish our men would take the time to say every now and again… very sweet.

    I’ve experienced that before; happened at a point where I gave up looking and just put my head down and focused on my career and myself.. then there he was. It didn’t last unfortunately, but every time I start to feel down and out about the current status of my non-existent love life, I just think about that moment and realize that if it happened once it can most certainly happen again, and I remain most thankful for the time he was in my life, for I learned a lot about life, love, and myself in that short time.

    I really enjoyed that. I wish my man had the balls to say half of that. It wasn’t too much, wasn’t over-the-top. It was just enough to get the sweet point across without come across as bs. Nice post.

    @AJ

    Good question…lol. Yes it was directed towards someone. Wouldn’t you like to know who? HAHA. Yeah life is full of beautiful surprises, and many times we’re too caught up in the craziness of life to embrace those “surprises” that have been placed right before our very eyes. I believe that they are all around us; we just have to be open to receiving them.

    I am currently surprised by the beauty this new man has brought into my life. He’s making me lose objectivity and my ability to be nonchalant. I have found myself spending hours talking to him, never growing bored, and hesitant to leave the conversation. Disappointment sucks so I’m trying to keep my optimism reined in, but…

    This song definitely exemplifies my current outlook. And FlyGuy, lucky girl. Damn lucky girl.

    I just had to say that one night my boyfriend and I were sitting around listening to music and he asked what song did I think was “us”. Betterman by Musiq came on, and I said maybe this. Some more songs came on and we just sat there and listened and read the paper or something. And then this song came on and he just said “That’s it.” And it was…and still is…

    I met my beautiful surprise on a cruise, and two years later and some months to boot, we are still together. You never know what God has in store for you! I love this song, and every time I hear it, I think of him! And here you go putting it up on your post! Making me just fall in love all over again!

    WOW! This is my first comment, but not my first visit to the site. I LOVE THIS PLACE!! :0)

    Fly guy: I have a beautiful surprise and it’s terrifyingly exciting! A single mom, no time for foolishness but out of nowhere there’s this MAN.

    I have been so resistant to love, so focused on my daily routine that I never let anyone get close. But God knows something, because no matter how I tried to convince myself to run in the other direction he was there patiently waiting.

    I must admit, the thought of being hurt YET AGAIN is terrifying! But, I feel safe with him and as much as I try to deny it, I’m falling, I just hope he catches me! :0)

    ps. I even sent him the article about “titles” and we talked about it..how GROWN is THAT! LOVE HIM!!!
