The Innocence Of Youth
Wasn't it wonderful, so carefree, so pure, so simple
When falling in love just happened
As we get older it seems falling in love becomes harder
It does because we have so many conditions
We know what we are looking for and what we want (or do we)
Why not just let it happen, forget the conditions
Forget knowing what you want...Let your guard down
Meet someone, spend time with them..take a chance
Get to know them, listen to what they say, feel who they are
Yes, forget the conditions,
Let love happen the way it was meant to happen
Yes, The innocence of youth...
And they say with age comes wisdom...
Perhaps in some areas, but not when falling in love
