I've heard some rumors in my time --- that love can conquer all
It can move mountains --- it can see you through until the end
Lift you up to dance on sun-colored clouds, make a lover out of a good friend.
I've heard love is something magical; happens without cause
Leaves you sometimes feeling hopeless and just a bit lost.

I find myself when I look at you --- I see who I want to be
And as you walk away, I find myself with a lock but not the key.
I reach out my hand to you, but it's thin air I grasp
Just one chance. One chance is all I ask.

Take a leap. Take a dare. And if failure follows after--
Trust that I will still be there. It's a deadly question:
I know that life ain't always fair. But I hope just this once
It won't turn out with me being on my own.

It's a bit peculiar; perhaps a bit out of the norm
But I find magic behind words --- they lift me up and keep me warm.
I'd do anything to change the world --- but I am powerless against the tide
Yet these feelings in my heart I can no longer hide (forgive me)

I'm a fool for believing in miracles and happily ever afters, I know
But it kills me inside to just have to let you go.
Not once did my heart stop loving you --- a special place you've always held
And I knew you were something special since the day I met you.

I would give it all up just to make you smile --
To be the arms that wrap around you that make you stay awhile longer.
I would give it all up just to make you laugh --
To hear it in your voice that true love lasts.

I've heard rumors --- some I held to be true
Love can conquer everything...
So just answer me this...
Why can't I get through to you?
