Long Live Love

[Verse 1]

She pours at a bar in this broken-heart city

Working more hours than the Lord allows

She gets orders and stories, they're all talking, no giving

From the suits and the ties and the down-and-outs

The day he came with his friends, he was wandering deep

And he saw her life in his eyes like an angel ascending

From the depths of despair, from the dirt of the suburbs

Like lightning in her heart when he touched her hand

[Chorus]

Guess whеn you know, you really know — Long Live Love

From holding on to lеtting go — Long Live Love

Can break your heart or make you whole

Ohh, Long Live Love

Guess when you know, you really know — Long Live Love

From holding on to letting go — Long Live Love

Can break your heart or make you whole

Ohh, Long Live Love

[Verse 2]

A plane touched down on a college town runway

Seems like yesterday he pushed her on a swing

Held her through the years, through her dreams and her nightmares

Now he's holding back tears as she's finding her wings

He brought her into the world, it's been eighteen summers

From bedtime stories to broken-heart toys

Now she's all grown up, and it hurts

But he knows that he raised her to run

And now she's got to walk

[Chorus]

Guess when you know, you really know — Long Live Love

From holding on to letting go — Long Live Love

Can break your heart or make you whole

Ohh, Long Live Love

Guess when you know, you really know — Long Live Love

From holding on to letting go — Long Live Love

Can break your heart or make you whole

Ohh, Long Live Love

[Bridge]

(Ohh, Long Live Love)

You know it when you know

(Ohh, Long Live Love)

Oh, it's so powerful

(Ohh, Long Live Love)

Incredible

(Ohh, Long Live Love)

[Verse 3]

She was a mother, a sister, and a friend

And the love of his life till the day that he died

Stayed in the home that they made

With the memories of the chaos calm of a beautiful life

She's still holding on, because there can't be another

Keeps the ring that he bought her on her finger still

That's just the price of a life when you're one with each other

Someday being alone is just part of the deal

[Chorus]

Guess when you know, you really know — Long Live Love

From holding on to letting go — Long Live Love

Can break your heart or make you whole

Ohh, Long Live Love

Guess when you know, you really know — Long Live Love

From holding on to letting go — Long Live Love

Can break your heart or make you whole

Ohh, Long Live Love

[Outro]

Guess when you know, you really know

(You know it when you know)

From holding on to letting go

(Oh, it's so powerful)

Can break your heart or make you whole

(Incredible)

Long Live Love
