Love Goes On Forever

Love goes on forever

Isn't it funny, how quickly,
life can change
One day your here, 
next you're gone...

Beautiful dreams 
start to... fade to black
The body weakens, 
and then, you're done

Bridge1
(but) it doesn't mean all hope is lost!
('cause) love endures eternity
e-    ter-      ni-   ty...

Chorus
And, so it goes..... love
Love... goes on ...forever
When...there is, so much love
it ...will go on forever...
forever...
forever.


There were so many,
plans and schemes
What was the purpose of it all?
Life's never really,
just, as... it seems,
but... love will catch you 
when you fall...

Bridge 2
I don't really want to...get you down
(cause) our love's all we need
our love is all we need

Chorus
And, so it goes..... love
Love... goes on ...forever
When...there is, so much love
it ...will go on forever...
forever...
forever.

Even as the final... 
curtain falls,
and we breathe,
our very last breath...
the memories of love,
linger...on and on
(yes) love survives...even death

Bridge 2
I don't really want to...get you down
(cause) our loves all we need
our love is all we need

Chorus
And, so it goes..... love
Love... goes on ...forever
When...there is, so much love
it ...will go on forever...
forever...
forever.

I think that you are a very talented lyricist, and I wonder if you have recorded any of these songs? Love that goes on forever and ever, wow!

Gosh, John, I hope Mark sees this one and puts music to it. It's so neat to HEAR lyrics like yours put to song. Very well done and thanks for my win in your last contest. It made my day!(that internal rhyming is NOT so easy)

Thanks Andrea, actually I have a composer working with me to bring these lyrics to life, hopefully soon I'll be able to upload the song. Your poem for my contest scored 38 out of 40 points also Nette the same, remarkable work thanks a lot!
