The reasons it won't work are more than I can count
A love that's doomed right from the start
This modern world just fills your head with fears and doubts
We'd end it now if we were smart

The only ones who make love last forever
Are fools that dream
Ah, c'mon, baby, we'll risk our hearts together
Like fools that dream

Everybody knows someone life dealt a hellish hand
God knows how they survive
They tell you love's what got 'em through the dark
How they braved the tears an' just called it life

Cause the only ones who make love last forever
Are fools that dream
C'mon, baby, we'll risk our hearts together
Like fools that dream

If we all walk through this world scared to take a chance
Just imagine where we'd be
It's always dreamers that teach us how to dance
And I want you to dream with me

Cause the only ones who make love last forever
Are fools that dream
Yeah, the only ones who make this world any better
Are fools that dream
Yeah, c'mon, baby, we'll risk our hearts together
Like fools that dream
Yeah, we can be fools that dream
Yeah, we can be fools that dream
