Why Do People Fall In Love? Lyrics - Linda Eder

Why do people fall in love? 

Don't we know love is full of dangers? 

Letting loose our foolish hearts 

In this world full of perfect strangers 

Maybe this time you will find 

The moon will treat you kinder 

Yes, I'm sure that I recall 

That's the reason people fall... 

Love is needing to belong 

Right or wrong, when you feel the fire 

Love is living in mid-air 

Young and rare, on a sky-high wire 

Hoping this time it will last 

You feel your heart beat faster 

Yes, I'm sure that I recall 

That's the reason people fall in love 

Taking chances you would never take 

When wide awake, you risk it all 

Half afraid he'll only break your heart 

Still you will close your eyes and simply fall 

Why do people fall in love? 

Are we fools with no hope of winning? 

Or perhaps we always see 

One last chance for a new beginning 

Holding on and letting go 

But never really knowing 

Well, I guess that after all 

That's the reason people fall in love
