Maybe Its Because 1949

They say that we fall in love
for a reason
and I believe it's true.
It might be fun
finding one little reason
why I'm in love with you.

Maybe it's because
the kiss you gave me,
Touched my heart
and went right through.
I can't tell you why,
I only know that I
fell helplessly in love with you.
Maybe it's because
the song we danced to,
told a story old and new.
I can't figure out,
just why it came about
or how I fell in love with you.
I could say you're grand
and therefore I care for you so.
But there is a why and wherefore
and I'd like to know.
Maybe it's because
the star I wish on
made a certain wish come true.
Or it just could be
that you were meant for me
and maybe I was meant for you.

Maybe it's because
the kiss you gave me,
Touched my heart
and went right through.
I can't tell you why,
I only know that I
fell helplessly in love with you.
Maybe it's because
the song we danced to,
told a story old and new.
I can't figure out,
just why it came about
or how I fell in love with you.
I could say you're grand
and therefore I care for you so.
But there is a why and wherefore
and I'd like to know.
Maybe it's because
the star I wish on
made a certain wish come true.
Or it just could be
that you were meant for me
and maybe I was meant for you.
