Daring You to Fall in Love With Me

Daring You to Fall in Love with Me

Forgive me if I come on strong,

It’s just that I’ve been thinking long

And hard about a way to talk to you

I hate the party atmosphere,

But I heard that I might see you here

I told myself this time I’d see it through

Hearts are broken all the time,

Your only one is hard to find

There’s loneliness as far as we can see

But the journey of a million miles

Begins if I can make you smile So I’m daring you to fall in love with me

So tell me what you love to do

So I can say, “I love that too!”

I just need to buy a little time

We can talk about your mom and dad

Or that one good thing that ended bad

I wanna hear whatever’s on your mind

Hearts are broken all the time,

Your only one is hard to find

There’s loneliness as far as we can see

But the journey of a million miles

Begins if I can make you smile So I’m daring you to fall in love with me

Imagine when we’re old and gray

You’re eighty-four, I’m eighty-eight

Same side of the booth, that’s where we’ll be

And when the grandkids ask again,

I’ll tell them how it all began

By daring you to fall in love with me

Hearts are broken all the time,

Your only one is hard to find

There’s loneliness as far as we can see

But the journey of a million miles

Begins if I can make you smile So I’m daring you to fall in love with me
