A shooting star tumbles down,
Its flame cannot endure
A scarlet rose withers brown
To lose it's fragrant lure
The moon illuminates the night
To vanish at the dawn
Oh, 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
Oh, but love, love goes on
Beauty fades, and 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 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
Oh, love goes on
