Lyrics
I Want Us To Fall In Love Again
(c)2005 Kvinnesongs (BMI)
Words/Music: Robert Kvinnesland
[verse 1]
I suppose, with all things considered,
I really shouldn't complain…
But too many years have gone too quickly,
And life has gotten tame.
The kids are out on their own now…
And we're back to being alone now…
But movies and books are all that fill our night.
[verse 2]
Do we still have whatever it takes
To spark our lives anew?
You still look pretty good to me, babe,
How do I look to you?
No, I don't want us to break up…
I just want us to wake up…
And rage against this fadin' of the light!
[chorus]
I want us to be in love
Like the years haven't taken a toll…
And I want us to feel those things
That we felt before we thought about feelin' old,
Because I'm not ready for settlin' down
To a life with a comfortable friend…
I want us to fall in love again!
[verse 3]
Let's take the years that we have left
And really seize each day…
Let's heed the call of love with laughter
And live large all the way!
When fun and romance take us
To Paris, Rome, or Vegas...
We won’t be goin’ down without a fight!
[verse 4]
’Cause there's a man in the distance, dressed in black,
And he's lookin' at his watch…
Now is the time to get defiant
And turn things up a notch…
We’ve got to summon up the energy
To act with a sense of urgency,
And not go yawnin’ into that long good night!
[chorus]
[short instrumental in lieu of verse lines 1,2]
No, I'm not thinkin' of breakin' up…
I'm just talkin' 'bout wakin' up!
I'm just sayin' our lives could use some shakin' up!
[chorus, but modulate to next key]
[tag out with last line of chorus 2X]
