She hangs up the phone and her heart starts to pound Someone just told her an old friend's in town And a million old feelings come rushing in Start tearing to pieces what it took years to mend She's living proof, true love never dies Through all of the heartaches and all the goodbyes She just can't forget it, Lord knows, she's tried She's living proof, true love never dies You answer the door and I say, "Hello" If you don't want to see me just tell me, I'll go But I can't love without you, it's only pretend There's no love like you're sweet love, can we try it again? We're living proof, true love never dies Through all of the heartaches and all the goodbyes I just can't forget you, Lord knows, I've tried We're living proof, true love never dies Yes, we're living proof, true love never dies
