Lyrics
LOVE CAN LIVE FOR ALWAYS
© Chapman
VERSE Me and Janie were walking on the farm
late in November
I was trying to find a way
to tell her I'd love her forever
We stopped to watch the white snow geese
flying high above the lake
then someone took at shot at them
one bird spun out of place
CHANNEL Well the frightened geese flew off, but one
dropped to the lake to die
We saw one other circle back
to float right by its side-- and I held Janie, saying,
CHORUS Love can live for always
love can live beyond life
some have many playmates,
some have just one for life
Love can live for always
VERSE The sky grew dark, but the faithful bird
swam close beside its mate
keeping watch as the dying bird
laid its head down on the lake
CHANNEL And as the moonlight shone on one lonely bird
Janie's cheeks were wet
we knew that what we saw this night
we could never ever forget --and I held Janie, saying,
CHORUS I love you for always
I love you beyond life
Some have many playmates
Some have just one for life
I love you for always
I love you for always
I love you beyond life
Some have many playmates
Some have just one for life
I love you for always
