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
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

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 saying 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
