On Big Alley stands a lady waiting for awhile

Acting now then untold story like a wounded child

But the mystery of the circumstance won't hide

She believes true love survives



Waiting for her long lost lover

Returning from the war

Though I know she knew the truth

She also knew much more

And the answer that she gave to all of us

Whispered low saying true love survives

True love survives



Is she dreaming does she know

A secret I can't see

Maybe there's a trace of truth

In all that she believes

For one day I took a look deep down inside

A voice cried saying true love's alive

True love survives



Only love will last forever true love will survive

Only love will last forever true love will survive



True is love is never-ending

It's giving all and not pretending

It's holding on although your heart is dead



A quarter of a century of fears have gone by

Still the dream of this peculiar lady is kept alive

So I'm holding tight to one who had desired

A burning fire say it true love survives

True love survives

True love survives
