You Can’t Fall in Love in a Minute

 

You can’t fall in love in a minute

So I’m told.

But that’s not true

I disagree.

 

You can fall in love in a minute

But it takes a lifetime to be in love.

Yes, that’s when the work begins

When the love is real.

 

Falling in love is flowers and music

And things are so fine

Life is so wonderful

All of the time

 

Being in love

Is a much different thing

That’s listening and holding

And taking the time

To be with your lover

For everything.

 

The good times

And bad

The happy

And sad

 

Yes being in love is quite a fine art

It’s all about giving

Deep from the heart

 

So when you find love

In a day or a minute

Be ready to work

To have a lifetime in it.
