We met the couple in a restaurant in Dallas
|
They were twice our age and so much in love
|
Twenty years they were celebrating
|
Hand in hand they couldn't sit close enough
|
I leaned over and asked that man
|
What is your secret for love like that
|
|
He said there's never really been any secret
|
Love is simply what you make of it
|
In a world with so many choices
|
Just give your heart and then stand by it
|
|
We bought champagne and we toasted the couple
|
They wished us well and then went their way
|
We sat back down a little closer together
|
And you told me what that woman had to say
|
She said honey love won't ever be easy
|
But that don't mean it can't be the best
|
|
You see there's never really been any secret
|
Love is simply what you make of it
|
In a world with so many choices
|
Just give your heart and then stand by it
|
|
Two people in love
|
I wonder if they know how much they meant to us
|
|
We've often wondered about that couple
|
Where they are and what they're doing today
|
They're probably in some restaurant in Dallas
|
Helping some young couple find their way
|
|
They're saying there's never really been any secret
|
Love is simply what you make of it
|
In a world with so many choices
|
Just give your heart and then stand by it
|
Go on and give your heart and then stand by it
