because we are in love lyrics

Children, it was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run through the days, don't look behind

Over wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves
What kind of people did we want to be?
No answer ever came to me

I didn't sleep at all last night
Mom, I've come to you like yesterday
About today, mom, I'm afraid

Hon, come and sit by my side
Listen to me, words come so hard
But what my heart says I will give you

Because you are in love
Your eyes begin to open
As if you had awaken from a sleep

Because you are in love
You use imagination
And lose your concentration
When someone drops his name

You're back in his arms as always
Your day dreams work out that way
It's all just a trick you mind plays
The more love grows
The more it says the same

(Same little girl who's frightened)
But I love him so
(Same little girl who's sure)
That she loves him so
(Sees with a woman's vision)
(Knows what a woman knows)

Because we are in love
We reach for our tomorrows
And know we won't be lonely
In laughter and in sorrows

Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our hope forever
You and I, because we are in love

Because we won't be lonely
In laughter and in sorrows
When love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I, because we are in love
