love goes on

a shooting star tumbles down, it's flame cannot endure
a scarlet rose withers brown, to loose its fragrant lure
the moon illuminates the night to vanish at the dawn
but, love. . .love goes on

fortunes faid 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
but, love. . .love goes on

beauty fades, passion wanes and faces show their years
death steals a lover's touch away, but time dries up the tears
tunes are soon forgotten, singers lose their songs
but love. . .love goes on

a baby boy, a starlet 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
