Love Never Dies

There is a little town way over yonder

By the creek there's a churchyard and a tree so tall

She was only 47 when she passed away

And though the years go by, still it feels like yesterday

Sitting there by the wood stove on cold winter mornings

I can see her in a dressing gown saying, "You'll be late for school"

She had such a gentle way, she understood

And with a mother's heart she loved me like no other could

Now I know that love never dies

I believe it, true hearts never lie

Even though sometimes I cry

I know that love never dies

Midnights and country roads in the old blue Holden

Saying, "Son, if you work hard, well, you're bound to be a star"

And every show we played from Tamborine to Kerrytown

She was always there, that special face in every crowd

Now I know that love never dies

I believe it, true hearts never lie

Even though sometimes I cry

I know that love never dies

I swear sometimes I feel her smiling down on me

How I loved that woman and what she gave to me

So God be her shepherd and keep her safe and warm

Never let her heart grow weary, never let her feel alone

And when the angels come to take me, tell her I won't be afraid

'Cause I know in Heaven she waits

For love never dies

I believe it, true hearts never lie

Even though sometimes I cry

I know that love never dies
