Of all the people in this world, why you and I

With lovers here and everywhere we don't care enough to try

Why couldn't all the hurt we're feeling now have passed us by

Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?



And of all the hearts in all the world, why yours and mine

There's so many places love could die, we must leave the earth for a time

Oh, but it's in our hearts and it's in our bed and it's even in your eyes

Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?



Somewhere out there there's lovers who want to be free

Why couldn't love have died with them instead of here with you and me

Oh, but it's pityful how all these tears won't bring it back to life

Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?



Oh, but it's pityful how all these tears won't bring it back to life



Oh, couldn't love have picked a better place to die?
