Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Each time they are asked, how did you two meet?
They exchange a glance - he gives her a wink
She recalls the day, on that crowded street
When he yelled to her, that they had to meet

As she turned around, she knew from the start
This man was the one, who would win her heart
Before she could speak, he flashed a big grin
Her knees went weak, and she felt her head spin

She looked in his eyes, and she knew right then,
This wasn't chance, she would marry this man
She looked up at him, and matched his big grin
His knees went weak and he felt his head spin

CHORUS:

Love isn't chance, there is a master plan
But it does require that you to lend a hand
Cards and love letters on random days,
Frequent hugs and getaways
Forgiveness and laughter instead of rants
Sneaking kisses while you dance
Put some effort to it, if you want it to last
'Cause love doesn't last just by chance
No, love doesn't last just by chance

Verse 2:

As days turned to months, they spoke everyday
and met every week at the same cafe
He'd meet her out front, each time with one rose
Then they'd laugh and dance until the place closed

He cooked her dinner, set by candlelight
They watched old movies, and talked through the night
Each knew in their heart, that this was God's plan
The time flew by and as they walked hand in hand

Then one night, they finally had their first fight
But they talked it through until the got things right
Soon they were laughing, their fight history
They were planning their future, and their family

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge:

Yes, they were married, over twenty years back
And they're still going strong and having a blast
Fate, destiny or could it be chance
People always asking, what makes their love last
