(Richard Marx/Gary Burr)

Sometimes I wonder why I end up alone
Why I always choose to cut and run
I want someone to love so tell me why
I find a million ways to say goodbye

Hope springs eternal and it says to me
Don't waste another chance so carelessly
I've got lessons learned if nothing else
So I'll make a solemn promise to myself that

If I fall in love tonight
It's gonna be the start of forever
When I face the end, I'll stand and fight
With all my heart
With all my might
If I fall in love tonight

I don't need a drop of sympathy
I chartered the course of my own destiny
I know the right one might have passed me by
But I'd be a bigger fool if I don't try and

If I fall in love tonight
It's gonna be the start of forever
When I face the end, I'll stand and fight
With all my heart
With all my might
If I fall in love tonight

Next time it's gonna be different
I won't close my eyes when love shines down on me

If I fall in love tonight
It's gonna be the start of forever
When I face the end, I'll stand and fight
With all my heart
With all my might
If I fall in love tonight
