🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Keep falling in and out of love (Keep falling in and out of love)In search for what I’m dreaming ofI long to find a love I’m sure aboutThat certain kind of love that moves all doubtsKeep falling in and out of love (Keep falling in and out of love)Still searching for that special one (Still searching for that special one)To whom I can give my love completelyAnd feel a lasting love so sweetlyJust when I feel sure love’s here to stayIt seems to suddenly just fade awayCan’t seem to find that everlasting loveThat this heart of mine needs so much ofKeep falling in and out of love (Keep falling in and out of love)Can’t seem to find the lasting kind (Can’t seem to find the lasting kind)It seems I can’t find the joy I needLove always somehow all goes wrong for meOoh, I keep reaching out for tendernessTouching a hand that holds emptinessWell I’m looking for a love that lingers onLong after that first kiss is goneThat kind of love that keeps burning brightLong after we’ve said goodnightKeep falling In And Out Of Love (Keep falling in and out of love)In search for what I’m dreaming of (Keep falling in and out of love)Keep falling In And Out Of Love
