Maybe it happens this way
Maybe we really belong together
But after all, how little we know


Maybe it's just for a day
Love is as changeable as the weather
And after all, how little we know


Who knows why an April breeze never remains
Why stars in the trees hide when it rains
Love comes along, casting a spell            
Will it sing you a song  
Will it say a farewell
Who can tell


Maybe you're meant to be mine
Maybe I'm only supposed to stay in your arms a while
As others have done
 
Is this what I've waited for, am I the one
Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so
In spite of how little we know


Is this what I've waited for, am I the one
Oh, I hope in my heart that it's so
In spite of how little we know
