Píseň: Why Don't We Live Together

Interpret:
Barry Manilow
Album:
Nice Boy Like Me
Why don't we live together
Only the two of us, we'll learn to trust
Don't have to say forever
'Cause we know the rain could start
and break our hearts
But we'll never find the future if we hesitate
We'll spend our life waiting


Why don't we live together
taking it day by day we'll find a way
To build us a dream that's better
And still have our wings to fly if love should die
Can't spend our life rehearsing all these lines of love
It's time to raise the curtain
Why don't we live together
whether loves lives or dies
At least we know we tried


We've both been burned before
But now we know this love is sure
And there'll be no more sorrow
This love is burnin' bright it lights up tomorrow


Why don't we live together
takin' life's rocky ride
Side by side
Sailin' thru stormy weather
Searchin' for sunny skies with open eyes
Sharin' the tears and the laughter is the only way


We'll find the love we're after
Why don't we live together
Whether love lives or dies
at least we'll know we tried
