John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Our Love Will Survive

Our love will survive


Intro and chorus

Our love will survive...through all the pain...
we've both made our share of mistakes,
so we... both share the blame,
Our love's not a game...we get what we give...
when we lay aside foolish pride,
we... begin to forgive


You've always been there...when I was in need...
you helped me to break all the chains of the pain,
and helped me get free

What else could I do? ...   you've done it for me
So many times, when I cried, you would try,
to dry, my eyes for me

What else can I say, baby, I'll show you the way


Chorus
Our love will survive...through all the pain...
we've both made our share of mistakes,
so we both share the blame,
Our love's not a game...we get what we give
when we lay aside foolish pride,
we... begin to forgive


Whatever I know...I'm willing to share,
cause when we help one another to grow,
we show...how much we care

You made me believe...what you say is true
Our love feels brand new, so I'll continue,
to keep on loving you

So everyday, baby, I'll show you the way


Chorus
Our love will survive...through all the pain
we've both made our share of mistakes,
so we both share the blame,
Our love's not a game...we get what we give
when we lay aside foolish pride,
we... begin to forgive


So everyday, baby, I'll show you the way
So everyday, baby, I'll show you the way
So everyday, baby, I'll show you the way

fade to zero
