Won't you play that song that makes us fall in love again
G D A
I need to hold a hand and let my heart go
D G A D
It's been a year and ten, since I heard my name that way
G D A D
Whisper of yesterdays and the sweet night ahead
G D A D
I don't know what makes a stranger of sweet love and time
G D A
But my soul knows the dangers of living out of rhyme
D G A D
So won't you play that song that makes us fall in love again

That life was made for lovin' one another until the end

So won't you play that song that makes us fall in love again
