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
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 fears have gone by
Still the dream of this peculiar lady's kept alive
So I'm holding tight to one who had desired
A burning fire say it true love survives
True love survives
True love survives
