The Couple - James Bonamy

(Doug Johnson)

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
