Lyrics
WHY DON'T WE LOVE Copyright (c) 2006 Eric Severson D A You and I were doing fine, Bm G A D And then one day we realized we didn’t feel it anymore. D Bm Just a moment caught in time, G Em A Then love slipped right through our hands and fell in pieces on the floor. D A Now like soldiers in the night, Bm G A D We’re left alone to face each other when the arguing is done. D Bm We can’t remember why we fight, G Em A Still we take our only pleasure in the battles that we’ve won. D A Though we reach no compromise, Bm G A D I know our feelings still survive, beneath the anger and the fear. D Bm And when I look into your eyes, G Em A I see the one that I once loved; and I’m happy you’re still here. D A This world will take your soul, Bm G A D And twist and turn it all around, till you can’t trust the things you see. Bm But tonight let’s let it go, G A D D And find some comfort in each other, you and me. (CHORUS) D Bm Why don’t we love, G A D While we still have earth below and sky above? D Bm Why don’t we try, G A D While we still have time together, you and I? D Bm Why don’t we live, G A D Full of all the love our hearts still have to give? D Bm And why don’t we be, G A D Two long lost lovers, you and me?
