Good Love Lingers On

When they tell my story through,

Will they speak of my love for you?

Carved in trees down country roads,

Sewn in our children's winter coats.

How many sunsets?

How deep the blues and the reds?

How many heartbeats?

How may falling leaves?

How high can you fly?

'Til you can't see the ground?

Long after we are gone,

Good love lingers on.

Good love lingers on.

Time's a story in reverse

That trains a river to its course,

And while it’s crying at the wake

It's laughing in your birthday cake

How many rocks thrown?

How many broken bones?

How many bruised knees?

How many Christmas trees?

How high can you fly,

'Til you can't see the ground?

I'm never gonna leave you

And when they lay my body down

My memory will find you

It will echo through the ground

I always meant to tell you

But I always thought you knew

I saw forever

The moment I met you

Long after we are gone,

Good love lingers on

Good love lingers on.

The creakin' of your parents' stairs,

Dancin' in our underwear

Around the treehouse that we made

From the year of Saturdays

The sound that sails against the rain

We are only on our way

And if eternity is true,

They will carve it out of you

If eternity is true,

They will carve it out of you
