|
There is a little town way over yonder |
|
By the creek there's a church yard and a tree so tall |
|
She was only forty-seven when she passed away |
|
And though the years go by, still it feels like yesterday |
|
Sitting there by the wood stove |
|
On a cold winter morning |
|
I can see her in her dressing gown |
|
Saying 'You'll be late for school' |
|
She had such a gently 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' |
|
Every show we played from Tamborine to Kerry Town |
|
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 love 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 angles 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 |
