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
