The reasons it won't work are more than I can count 
A love that's doomed right from the start 
This modern world just fills your head with fears and doubts 
We'd end it now if we were smart 

The only ones who make love last forever 
Are fools that dream 
Ah, c'mon, baby, we'll risk our hearts together 
Like fools that dream 

Everybody knows someone life dealt a hellish hand. 
God knows how they survive. 
They tell you love's what got 'em through the dark. 
How they braved the tears an' just called it life. 

Cause the only ones who make love last forever 
Are fools that dream 
C'mon, baby, we'll risk our hearts together 
Like fools that dream 

If we all walk through this world scared to take a chance 
Just imagine where we'd be 
It's always dreamers that teach us how to dance 
And I want you to dream with me 

Cause the only ones who make love last forever 
Are fools that dream 
Yeah, the only ones who make this world any better 
Are fools that dream 
Yeah, c'mon, baby, we'll risk our hearts together 
Like fools that dream 
Yeah, we can be fools that dream 
Yeah, we can be fools that dream
