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
