Song Lyrics

Linger here along with me in the place that we called home.
Walk along the river, lie beneath the great white oak.
I see you in my dreams at night. I remember your embrace.
The nights are long and lonely and the days so hard to face.

True love…true love lives forever. True love…
I’ll take both together: the bitter and the sweet, the bitter and the sweet.

Last time that I saw you by the courthouse on the lawn,
Filled with shame and sorrow, regret for all you’d done.
You said, “Take me back just one more time, I swear I’ll be okay.
The years were good when we were young, I know I’ll find my way.”

True love…true love lives forever. True love…
I’ll take both together: the bitter and the sweet, the bitter and the sweet.

Our lives so torn and broken with nothing more to say,
Only that I loved you, but I had to walk away.
The years have blurred the memories and edges of my grief.
The man I love but know no more still visits in my sleep.

True love…true love lives forever. True love…
I’ll take both together: the bitter and the sweet, the bitter and the sweet. 2xs
…the bitter and the sweet, the bitter and the sweet…together.
