Lyrics
Is it love,is it fate,or is it a dream lover
Only we understand each other's feelings
Is it love,is it fate,or is it at the wrong time
Searching for a spiritual connection
No one knows about fate
Why has our love become so fragile
Fate brings us to rely on each other
Our love still needs effort to maintain
Is it love,is it fate,or is it a dream lover
Only we understand each other's feelings
Is it love,is it fate,or is it at the wrong time
Searching for a spiritual connection
No one knows about fate
Why has our love become so fragile
Fate brings us to rely on each other
Our love still needs effort to maintain
Is it love,is it fate,or is it a dream lover
Only we understand each other's feelings
Is it love,is it fate,or is it at the wrong time
Searching for a spiritual connection
No one knows about fate
Why has our love become so fragile
Fate brings us to rely on each other
Our love still needs effort to maintain
Is it love,is it fate,or is it a dream lover
Only we understand each other's feelings
Is it love,is it fate,or is it at the wrong time
Searching for a spiritual connection
