True Love Survives lyrics

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,

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)

Truth is love... It's 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

Saying "true love survives"

True love survives!

(Only love will last forever)

True love survives!

(Only love will last forever)

True love survives!
