Why Can't We

[Verse 1: Bill Champlin]

Where did you go?

What happened to the life we had?

It took an unexpected turn

And even though we tried so hard

We only got so far

Oh, what did we learn?

[Verse 2: Shelly Fairchild]

Another day

Another night without you here

And nothing ever seems to change

And I know I can't escape

Because I always see your face

Every time I close my eyes

[Chorus: Bill Champlin and Shelly Fairchild]

If the sun can rise above us

Every single morning

If the moon can turn the tide

Of every sea

People falling in and out of love

Without a warning

They get a second chance

Then why can't we?

[Bridge: Bill Champlin, Shelly Fairchild, , Both]

If there's a way (If there's a way)

To let me in your world again

And put the pieces back in place

Oh whoa

If we take it one day at a time

Who knows what we may find?

Our love never went away

Now we can get stronger every day

[Chorus: Bill Champlin and Shelly Fairchild]

If the sun can rise above us

Every single morning

If the moon can turn the tide

Of every sea

People falling in and out of love

Without a warning

They get a second chance

Then why can't we?

[Verse 2: Bill Champlin, Shelly Fairchild]

Aren't we tired of savin' all the same old faces?

And pretending that we're better off alone?

Maybe deep inside we both know that our place is

Here all along

Gere all along

[Instrumental]

[Outro: Both, Bill Champlin, Shelly Fairchild]

People falling in and out of love without a warning

They get a second chance, then why can't we?

Oh, let's take a second chance, and then we'll see
