Love Wants to BelieveLaura's sweet on that farm boyshe'd waited on him for yearsthe night they kissed near the rivershining stars were chandeliersshe came home and got a curtainwore it like a wedding veilclosed her eyes and in the distanceheard the chime of chapel bellscos love wants to believein dreams of foreverthat the ties which bindcan never be severedfate can be unforgivingyet life is always worth livingbecause love wants to believelove wants to believeJohnny lies next to his girlfriendso uncertain of their kissbut is there a growing distanceor are the doubts only hishe brushes hair from her foreheadand sees his face in her eyeshow can a heart that's so openhave room for hiding liescos love wants to believein dreams of foreverthat the ties which bindcan never be severedfate can be unforgivingyet life is always worth livingbecause love wants to believelove wants to believethe moon is a silver mansionhigh upon a midnight hilla widow grieves by a gravestoneto the hymns of whippoorwillsshe hears footsteps in the night fogand blue whispers in the pinesit might be the lonesome south windbut she thinks it's divinecos love wants to believein dreams of foreverthat the ties which bindcan never be severedfate can be unforgivingyet life is always worth livingbecause love wants to believelove wants to believe(c)2005 Robert George
