The Story
This is a simple love story that starts when the guy gets up the nerve to ask the girl out and ends up when they are old and gray together telling the grandkids where it all began.
Lyrics
Forgive me if I come on strong, It’s just that I’ve been thinking long And hard about a way to talk to you I hate the party atmosphere, But I heard that I might see you here I told myself this time I’d see it through Hearts are broken all the time, Your only one is hard to find There’s loneliness as far as we can see But the journey of a million miles Begins if I can make you smile So I’m daring you to fall in love with me So tell me what you love to do So I can say, “I love that too!” I just need to buy a little time We can talk about your mom and dad Or that one good thing that ended bad I wanna hear whatever’s on your mind Hearts are broken all the time, Your only one is hard to find There’s loneliness as far as we can see But the journey of a million miles Begins if I can make you smile So I’m daring you to fall in love with me Imagine when we’re old and gray You’re eighty-four, I’m eighty-eight Same side of the booth, that’s where we’ll be And when the grandkids ask again, I’ll tell them how it all began By daring you to fall in love with me Hearts are broken all the time, Your only one is hard to find There’s loneliness as far as we can see But the journey of a million miles Begins if I can make you smile So I’m daring you to fall in love with me
