lyrics

She opens the door, eyes shining and warm.
Smile stretches towards me, arms pull me in from the storm.
I missed you so baby, feel whispered in my ear.
I smile and lean closer, though less warmly, I fear.

Asking myself what’s it gonna take to fall in love again.
What’s it gonna take to give myself without end.
Why ain’t I on my knees, why am I still on these feet standing tall.
Why can’t I just stumble off this ledge and just fall, fall into love again.

Feels like I am floating in dark waters unknown.
No compass can help me. Lost my bearings so very long ago.
Don’t know what we are doing, don’t know where we are bound.
Am I coming or going? Am I lost or am I found?

What’s it gonna take to fall in love again.
What’s it gonna take to give myself without end.
Why ain’t I on my knees, why am I still on these feet standing tall.
Why can’t I just stumble off this ledge and just fall, fall into love again.

When I was a young man life seemed easy and clear.
Never questioned what love was,
jumped headfirst whenever it seemed near.
But now I’m an old man with a heart so scarred and tired.
Do you ever recover from watching loves’ funeral pyre.
Asking yourself what’s it gonna take to fall in love again.
What’s it gonna take to give myself without end.
Why ain’t I on my knees, why am I still on these feet standing tall.
Why can’t I just stumble off this ledge and just fall, fall into love again.
