LOVE GOES ON words and music by David Phelps a shooting star tumbles down, its flame cannot endure a scarlet rose withers brown to lose its fragrant lure the moon illuminates the night to vanish at the dawn oh, but love, love goes on fortunes fail and disappear like castles in the sand power spoils and causes fear but yields to stronger hands fame lasts for a moment then in a moment its gone oh, but love, love goes on beauty fades and passion wanes and faces show their years death steals a lovers touch away but time dries up the tears tunes are soon forgotten and singers lose their song but love goes on a baby boy, a starlight nigh, kings on bended knee healing hands giving sight then tortuerd on a tree a women sings rejoicing "he is risen, he is gone!" because love, love goes on.
