Why Do People Fall in Love? - 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
