On big alley stands a lady waiting
  for awhile
  acting out an untold story like a
  wounded child
  but the mystery of the circumstance
  won't hide
  she believes true love survives
  true love survives
  
  Waiting for her long lost lover
  returning from the war
  though I know she knew the truth
  she also knew much more
  and the answer that she gave to all of us
  whispered low saying
  true love survives
  true love survives
  
  Is she dreaming does she know
  a secret I can't see
  maybe there's a trace of truth
  in all that she believes
  
  For one day I took a look deep down inside
  a voice cried saying true love's alive
  true love survives
  
  Only love will last forever true love will survive
  only love will last forever true love will survive
  
  True is love is never-ending
  it's giving all and not pretending
  it's holding on although your heart
  feels dead
  
  A quarter of a century of years
  have gone by
  still the dream of this peculiar
  lady's kept alive
  so I'm holding tight to one who I desired
  a burning fire saying true love survives
  true love survives
  
  Only love will last forever
  only love will last forever
