Nanci Griffith - Rise To The Occasion lyrics

I'll never fall in love again It's such a contradiction To lose all control and common sense And even intuition You came along, with a strange new song And the sweetest innovation And you said, "One should never fall in love But rise to the occasion" To have loved and lost, I know the cost I fell and almost drowned If not for you, I'd have missed this view From higher ground Now we can touch the sky above At the Angel's invitation And we don't even have to fall in love Just rise to the occasion Love should be pure and free A smiling inspiration And one should never fall in love But rise to the occasion
