Of the small-town daily news

it read lilah Thompson had a baby boy

Six pound at 10:02

But they didn't list the father

He was carefully ignored

No mention of the scuffle in the corridor

But the question still got asked

At the nurses' station he was close enough

To hear her call his name

He said it isn't fair, but if he knows i'm here

Her dad will go insaneIf there's something you
can do about it

Would you try

I just want to hear our baby cry

Even if it's through the glass

C-Oh, once i a while

When the odds are against love

And all the events of the heart are on trial

If somebody gives

And leaves the door open

To the power of hope and the wiil to forgive

Love lives

Three suitcases and a baby seat

And thier lives are in a car

Stealling off to the city they both believe

They can make it if they work real hard

Three weeks later they were out of the cheap
motel

Having dinner at the Toco Bell

When he gave her the ring

C-Oh, once i a while

When the odds are against love

And all the events of the heart are on trial

If somebody gives

And leaves the door open

To the power of hope and the wiil to forgive

Love lives

When the preacher said if anyone objects

Speak now or hold your peace

Every eye in the church turned to watch the man

Who rose up from his seat

But when he said

I'm sorry for the things I didn't understand

Can I give you to this man

Everybody cried

C-Oh, once i a while

When the odds are against love

And all the events of the heart are on trial

If somebody gives

And leaves the door open

To the power of hope and the wiil to forgive

Love lives

Love Lives
