We met the couple in a restaurant in Dallas

They were twice our age and so much in love

Twenty years they were celebrating

Hand in hand they couldn't sit close enough

I leaned over and asked that man

"What is your secret for love like that?"

He said, "There's never really been any secret

Love is simply what you make of it

In a world with so many choices

Just give your heart and then stand by it"

We bought champagne and we toasted the couple

They wished us well and then went their way

We sat back down a little closer together

And, you told me what that woman had to say

She said, "Honey love won't ever be easy

But that don't mean it can't be the best"

"You see there's never really been any secret

Love is simply what you make of it

In a world with so many choices

Just give your heart and then stand by it"

Two people in love

I wonder if they know how much they meant to us

We've often wondered about that couple

Where they are and what they're doing today

They're probably in some restaurant in Dallas

Helping some young couple find their way

They're saying, there's never really been any secret

Love is simply what you make of it

In a world with so many choices

Just give your heart and then stand by it

Go on and give your heart and then stand by it
