Nanci Griffith - Rise To The Occasion lyrics

rate me

(with Mac MacAnnaly)

I'll never fall in love again

It's such a contradiction

To lose all control and common sense

And even intuition

You came along, with a strange new song

And the sweetest innovation

And you said, "One should never fall in love

But rise to the occasion"

To have loved and lost, I know the cost

I fell and almost drowned

If not for you, I'd have missed this view

From higher ground

Now we can touch the sky above

At the Angel's invitation

And we don't even have to fall in love

Just rise to the occasion

Love should be pure and free

A smiling inspiration

And one should never fall in love

But rise to the occasion
