True Love Survives

On big alley stands a lady, waiting for awhile

Acting out an untold story like a wounded child

But the mystery of the circumstance won't hide

She believes true love survives



Waiting for her long, lost lover returning from the war

And though I know she knew the truth, she also knew much more

And the answer that she gave to all of us

Whispered low saying, "True love survives, true love survives"



Is she dreaming? Does she know a secret I can't see?

Maybe there's a trace of truth in all that she believes

For one day I took a look deep down inside

A voice cried, saying, "True love's alive, true love survives"



Only love will last forever, true love will survive

Only love will last forever, true love will survive



True is love is never-ending

It's giving all and not pretending

It's holding on although your heart feels dead



A quarter of a century of years have gone by

Still the dream of this peculiar lady's kept alive

So I'm holding tight to one who I desired

A burning fire, sayin', "True love survives, true love survives"



Only love will last forever, true love survives

Only love will last forever, true love survives

Only love will last forever, true love survives
