Story Behind The Song

What happens when we marry for reasons and the reasons go away?

Song Description

A tender, lifelong love story unfolds through small, everyday moments--bickering over toilet seats, stolen glances, and the gravity of time--showing that love, in the end, defies all reason. As the years roll on, their devotion proves that true love isn't found in logic but in the quiet, unwavering commitment to each other.

Lyrics

Reasons Fade
Copyright © 2005 David Baumgarten

[Introduction] Her laugh a melody, his smile a dare, In twilight's calling, Is this something rare?

[Verse 1] Morning walk under the watchful eye of a daylight moon, Exploring love's play, unveiling feelings too soon. "What's your story?" she teases with a grin, "You first, my dear," he smiles back, let the play begin. Eyes meet, linger, then shyly pull apart, Reveals the stubborn beating of their hearts.

[Chorus] He forgets to lift the seat; she's just always late, they debate the toilet rolls, way.
Yet every flaw, every dinner date, Draws them closer, past reason, to fate,
To a love meant to last, forever more.

[Verse 2] A pause, a test of distance--could they truly part?
Loneliness spoke in the quiet of their hearts.
"Move on," friends warn, yet they always knew,
They were meant for each other, as morning is to dew.

[Bridge] From separate windows, they ponder what might have been,
Weighing past lovers, their rights and sins.
Yet in every memory, every old flame's glow,
None shone as brightly as the love they came to know.

[Verse 3] Laundry he won't do, but dishes weren't too much.
In every squabble, every tender touch,
They discovered that this love was meant to be,
A love not found in reason, but in destiny.

[Chorus] No more reasons left, just hearts in sync,
A dance of fate, where love's the link.
By ocean's edge, waves reaching high, They vow to hold each other,
as reasons why, pass by.

[Outro] Years roll on, Loving like the first day, With children and their children at play.
At every wedding, their smiles remember the way! Love isn't just for reasons, for reasons
lead astray.
