We met the couple in a restaurant in Dallas 

They were twice our age and so much in love 

Twenty years they were celebrating 

Hand in hand they couldn't sit close enough 

I leaned over and asked that man 

What is your secret for love like that



He said there's never really been any secret 

Love is simply what you make of it 

In a world with so many choices 

Just give your heart and then stand by it 



We bought champagne and we toasted the couple 

They wished us well and then went their way 

We sat back down a little closer together 

And you told me what that woman had to say 

She said honey love won't ever be easy 

But that don't mean it can't be the best 



You see there's never really been any secret 

Love is simply what you make of it 

In a world with so many choices 

Just give your heart and then stand by it 



Two people in love 

I wonder if they know how much they meant to us 



We've often wondered about that couple 

Where they are and what they're doing today 

They're probably in some restaurant in Dallas 

Helping some young couple find their way 



They're saying there's never really been any secret 

Love is simply what you make of it 

In a world with so many choices 

Just give your heart and then stand by it 

Go on and give your heart and then stand by it
