I Still Would Have Fallen

If you wish I'll forfeit my place in your history,
To start anew with a future view of what we could be,
The years spent apart were a time-wasting game,
Grew older and wiser but end up the same

Take a look at the things I've said and the nerves they touch,
The bottom line is that my only crime was loving you too much,
And maybe we never quite saw eye-to-eye,
But when love's this strong it's worth another try

You can't cheat fate so don't you try it,
'Cos you know when I saw you tonight I knew that if we had never been so close before,
I still would have fallen in love with you tonight

You loved me but you broke my heart and I fell from grace,
But I've been good and I know I should be back in my rightful place,
And, crazy though they are, I'll realise my dreams,
The green-tinted, sixties-type, summer-of-love-kind it seems

That though we've been so far apart the same star was leading us,
Down a path where hearts and souls will marry,
You are the picture that I always want to carry,
When we dance the walls will fall apart so we can start to make it so

If you wish I'll retake my place in your family,
Refrain the song, sing another verse in a major key,
And when we look back on our lives in a while,
The fairytale ending will still make us smile

You can't cheat fate so don't you try it,
I still would have fallen in love with you tonight

You can't cheat fate so don't you try it,
When I saw you I knew that if we had never been lovers before,
I still would have fallen in love with you tonight
