Love Goes On

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
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 it is gone
But love, love goes on
Beauty fades, passion wanes and faces show their years
Death steals a lover's touch away but time dries up the tears
Tunes are soon forgotten and singers lose their song
But love, love goes on
A baby boy, a starlit night, kings on bended knee
Healing hands giving sight then tortured on a tree
A woman sings, rejoicing "He is risen, He is gone"
Because love, love goes on
