The last time i thought about leaving Was the last time i made her cry I talked myself out of believing That true true love never dies The first time i thought of returning Was just ten lonesome miles out of town But my foolish pride kept these wheels a' turning Yeah, there was nothing on this earth gonna shut me down Well if i had one drop of water For each and every tear i have cried Well i'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow True true love never dies The fires of anger turn to ashes Your pride will forsake you by-and-by The lonesomest night surely passes But that 'ol true true love never dies 1989 cross keys publishing co., inc.
