A Softer Place To Fall

We have shared so many things
laughter tears and pain
Loneliness and lots of love
even kissing in the rain

Having dinner at the Bistro
at a table just for two
Sipping our margaritas thinking
I was falling in love with you

Your gentle hand in mine
made us both forget the past
don't know the reason why
it just wasn't made to last

Both of us had lost someone
maybe it was just too soon
To be raptured by the moonlight
even though it made us swoon

I know the tears will flow
it will be a sad good bye
Both will go our separate ways
Knowing that we really tried

Guess we weren't ready
to make this our final call
Perhaps we were both just looking
for the softest place fall
