Here we are together you and I
Feeling like I always knew we would
Seems as though my heart just touched the sky
Never knew that we could feel this good

The joy of you and me
I'm hoping you will see
Just reach out to me

Why can't we fall in love?
Why don't we fall in love?
In a world that's rushing by
And where love is seldom true
I know that I can find some strength inside of you
Can't you feel it, too?
Don't be afraid to let your love come through

Few of us will never see the moon
Or even stop to hear our own love song
Before you know it's over all too soon
I hope that's not the way we move along

Playing foolish games
When no one wins the prize
It's right here in our eyes

Why can't we fall in love?
Why don't we fall in love?
In a world that's rushing by
And where love is seldom true
I know that I can find some strength inside of you
Can't you feel it, too?
Don't be afraid to let your love come through

Why can't we fall in love?
Why can't we fall, why can't we fall in love?
In a world that's rushing by
And where love is seldom true
I know that I can find some strength inside of you

Tell me
Why can't we fall
Why, baby, why, honey
Why can't we fall in love?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, honey
Why can't we fall in la-la-love, yeah
Fall in love
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Why can't we fall, baby?
Tell me why
Why can't we fall in love?
Why can't we fall in love?
Why can't we fall in love?
Why can't we fall in love?
Why don't we fall in love?
Why don't we fall in love?
