You don't fall in love at the start of a journey The light from the stars takes a lifetime to arrive The mind gets ahead of the heart in a hurry You don't fall in love at the start You won't fall apart late at night when you're lonely Pick up the phone we can talk till New York opens its eyes Give me a chance you'll see I'm not that bad once you get to know me You won't fall in love at the start You don't walk away without seeing the ending A great romance of the heart is worth years of waiting in line No way to tell if love's real or a scene you saw in a movie We're all in dark No one knows what's coming But I'm willing bet we're gonna be stunning Baby you don't fall in love at the start
