" Can We Ever Fall in Love Again "
( Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
[Verse 1]
She don’t see the nights I’m trembling, and fighting with my pain
Every scar and every shadow whispers I won’t be the same
I put on a brave face, but inside I’m caving in
She sees the surface smiling but not the storm beneath my skin
[Chorus]
Can we ever fall in love again?
When my body’s tired, and my mind’s been to the end
She don’t know the war that I’ve been facing
But my soul still aches for her embrace again
Tell me, can we, oh can we ever fall in love again?
[Verse 2]
Doctors’ words cut like thunder, futures written out in sand
I reach for her but lose her, like she can’t quite understand
I’m drowning in the silence of pain she’s never known
And I’m scared the man she married is a ghost she’s left alone
[Chorus]
Can we ever fall in love again?
When the fire’s dim but the longing never ends
I’m holding on though the weight keeps breaking
But my heart still cries for her embrace again
Tell me, can we, oh can we ever fall in love again?
[Bridge]
If she could feel these heavy nights
The sleepless hours, the endless fights
Would she still see me through the haze?
Or walk away from all these days?
[Breakdown whispered/soft]
I’m not who I once was…
But the love I hold for her never fades…
I’d trade my last breath if she’d only stay…
[Final Chorus desperate & pleading]
Can we ever fall in love again?
Through the brokenness, through the scars, through where we’ve been
I’ve lost myself but I’m still reaching
For the healing in her touch to make me whole again
Can we ever, oh God, can we ever fall in love again?
[Outro]
She don’t know what I’m going through
But my last prayer is she’ll see it too
And if love has the power to mend…
Maybe we can fall in love again
