Love Goes On - David Phelps

A shooting star tumbles down

Its flame cannot endure

A scarlet rose withers brown

To lose its 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

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

Beauty fades, and passion wanes

And faces show their years

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 giving sight

Then tortured on a tree

A woman sings, rejoicing

«He is risen, He is gone!»

Because love, love goes on

Oh, love goes on
