Of all the roads I’ve traveled and all the sights I’ve seen
The most amazing thing is the power of our dreams
And anything is possible for those who can believe
Just get your heart to rearrange its priorities

For us to make love work
We’ve got to try a little harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let’s start to take the chance to make love work

It takes faith in one another to see things eye to eye
And it’s hard to trust but you know it’s worth the try
There’s a candle in my window and whenever you feel blue
You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be there for you

For us to make love work
We’ve got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let’s start to take the chance to make love work

Oh I do believe in miracles
But I know they don’t come easy
So why don’t we give destiny
A helping hand

For us to make love work
We’ve got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let’s start to take the chance to make love work

Life is just too beautiful
To spend it feeling hurt
Let’s start to take the chance to make love work
