Let Me Fall in Love

Before I go to sleep tonight, won't you tell a story?
One that does not center around power or glory---
c simple tale of love that is tender and sweet,
Forever glorified, still uncorrupted, with a steady heartbeat.
Or better still of love that's also passionate and wild,
That holds the light of youth and makes you playful like a child.
Then let me fall in love.
I've heard people speak of sad ending and broken hearts,
But the heart does heal and where one thing ends, another starts.
I've heard them say they wished they never knew such pain
But to wish for pain- free love is to wish in vain.
cnd anyway, pain does not have to mean suffering,
If love is a gift, to it yield an offering
Cause when you fall in love, you fall in love
With everything, with everyone,
cnd you look at the world through a new pair of eyes
cnd you see fear - it crawls, but love - it flies.
So fly with it, grow a pair of wings and soar up high,
This bird, it sings a lullaby.
Close your eyes now, go asleep,
cnd dream a dream of falling deep in love.
