WE COULD HAVE IT ALL
Love Theme from the film 
"The Last Married Couple In America" (1980)
(Music: Charles Fox / Lyrics: Norman Gimbel)

Maureen McGovern (Film Soundtrack) - 1980

Also recorded by: Imelda Papin



We could tumble like a reed in the wind
Or we could scatter like the leaves in a storm
Or we could stand like an oak
And laugh at the joke
That the love we had is gone

We could buckle like a bridge made of tin
And we could shatter like a house made of glass
Or we could stand like a rock
And weather the shock
And try to make it last

And give each other love ev'ry day
A little goes a long, long way
And we could have it all
And we could have it all again

Or we could crumble like a castle of sand
And fade and wither like a rose on a vine
Or we could stay with the dream
Though lost it may seem
And try a second time

And give each other love ev'ry day
A little goes a long, long way
And we could have it all
And we could have it all again
We could have it all again

You stumble and you fall
You're out of your losses
You'll gather your forces
And you try again

And give each other love ev'ry day
A little goes a long, long way
And we could have it all
And we could have it all again
We could have it all
We could have it all again
