Love Lives On
This house was built by my Grandpa
Built it to stand strong and tall
But like Daddy said
It's bound to fall
Time will take it's toll
'Cause everything that's made by man
Will someday come to an end
So when you grow up
And build your home
Build on love
Cause love lives on
Love lives on; love lives on
Even when the heartbeat's gone
It won't rust or turn to stone
Life may end but love lives on
See the picture black and white
Of a young man and his wife
Taken on their wedding night
50 years ago
They were young but now they're old
Time has dulled their rings of gold
But you see their love is just as strong
Cause they lived on love
Now love lives on
Love lives on, love lives on
Even when the heartbeat's gone
It won't rust or turn to stone;
Live may end but love lives on
Love cannot be bound by time
Or chained to some old yesterday
They will leave their children
And children's children
Something that won't pass away
They were young but now they're old;
Time has dulled their rings of gold
But the seeds of love
Are growing strong
Cause they lived on love
Now love lives on
Love lives on, love lives on
Even when the heartbeat's gone
It won't rust or turn to stone;
Life may end but love lives on
Life may end but love lives on
