Keeping The Love Alive

Nana Mouskouri · Other Songs - Nana Mouskouri

Both of us holding back

So afraid

To fall in love and lose again

We've both been hurt before

Saw love walk out the door

In the end



Actin' as cold as ice

When we wanna be

Just a foolish game we play

You couldn't hurt me bad enough

To make me give it up

And walk away



CHORUS

We can't stop

The feeling's too strong

We've got the will to hang on

Can't stop

We struggle and fight to survive

Keepin' the love alive



We try to forget the past

So many times

It's hard to make those memories leave

With all we have at stake

We'll bend until we break

'Cause we both believe



CHORUS



If we stand the test of time

Love will be the lasting kind



CHORUS
