The feelings are back again;
I try but I can't pretend--
Love just happens to be this way.

The pressure released through argument;
It hurts, but we make up again.
Why does it have to be this way.

Temptations once came in many ways.
The cold lingered at times for days.
Only a chill, but it hurt just the same.

Thank God there's jealousy no more;
We washed it out and closed that door--
But other storms rise in our lives.

But when these storms pass us by,
It's then we know the reasons why
Love just happens to be this way;

And why we go through so much pain,
Which cleanses like the pouring rain
When we open up and talk about it.

There's no women who can be
All that you are to me:
Wife of my youth, lover and friend.

We now see a brighter dawn,
Free of strife, many battles won--
As free as we were made to be.

The feelings are back again;
I try but I can't pretend--
Love just happens to be this way.
