Lyrics[]
Anyone can fall in love
That's the easy part you must keep it going
Anyone can fall in love
Over the years it has to keep growing
Sun and rain
Joy and pain
There's highs - there's lows
We've no way of knowing.
Anyone can fall in love
That's not hard to do it isn't so clever
Anyone can fall in love
But you must make the love last forever...
Who can say
Love will stay?
It's up to you
Don't hide what needs showing.
Anyone can fall in love
That's the easy part you must keep it going
Everyone can fall in love
But you must make the love last forever more
How do you keep the music from dying?
Love falls asleep unless you keep trying
[Doof-Doofs]
[Guitar Solo]
Anyone can fall in love
Life's more than that, it's pulling together
Everyone can share the love
Where we come from friends never say never
side by side
satisfied
To stay right here in one square forever.
Anyone can fall in love
That's not hard to do it isn't so clever
Anyone can fall in love
But you must make the love last forever more.
Anyone can fall...
Anyone can fall in love.
