Love Not Dead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

it was love at first sight

when I talked to her

it was the beginning of a real good time

all I knew was her

and when I came around

love had lingered on my mind

she said on the telephone

she wished me well.

so alive with a spell

until I hung up early

I've realized

I've been dead for so long

all my memories of her

like a fading light I suffer

thinking of our love for so long

back in the early days

I saw a lot of her

she was the coolest girl in town

and when I saw her standing there

everything was all right

I took a journey in my mind

and as I saw her beauty

she was so kind

that was a good time

everyday we met it was wild

I felt like a child

I loved to see her smile

and as I played piano

I was so inspired

I always had a real good time

and when last we met

I just can't forget

I took for sure I love her bad

I just can't ignore

her loving response

I always knew she'd be all right

she made me think I was okay

and the love seemed so real

I still got feelings for her

and when I'm on tour

singing about her forever

I'll remember blessings

and the good times we had

I really tried to play the game of love

and I hate to loose

maybe I can win somehow

and so I'll dream of her

for a thousand years

until I see another girl

that's the way it always was

that's the way it always was

that's the way it always was
