Love Goes On

A shooting star tumbles down

It's flame cannot endure

A scarlet rose withers brown

To lose it's fragrant lure

The moon illuminates the night

To vanish at the dawn

Oh but love, love goes on

Fortunes fail and disappear

Like castles in the sand

And power spoils and causes fear

But yields to stronger hands

Fame lasts for a moment

Then in a moment, it is gone

Oh but love, love goes on

Oh, beauty fades and passion wanes

And faces show their years

Oh, death steals a lover's touch away

But time dries up the tears

Tunes are soon forgotten

And singers lose their song

But love goes on

A baby boy, a starlit night

Kings on bended knee

Healing hands bringing sight

Then tortured on a tree

A woman sings, rejoicing

"He is risen, he is gone"

Because love, love goes on

Oh love, oh love goes on
