LOVE SURVIVES by Betty (Bowes) Taylor
sung by Designer Genes. Listen here.
Daddy walked those country miles to see his blue-eyed blonde / The magic in her Texas smile had him spellbound / As Autumn leaves were falling, heart-to-heart they pledged / To cherish one another for always.
Mama and Daddy loved each other / Through the good and bad / When they started out together love was all they had / It wasn’t always easy, this melding of two lives / But because of their commitment love survives
Courtship days were spent in spinning dreams that seemed so real / But reality put wrinkles in that fabric of ideals / Many times they’d lay it down and dampen it with tears / Then with the warmth of love they’d iron it out
Mama and Daddy loved each other / Through the good and bad / When they started out together love was all they had / It wasn’t always easy, this melding of two lives / But because of their commitment love survives
Whatever comes, I’ll stand by you, ‘cause I have seen love work / It melts icy feelings, cools off heated words / Warms the heart with tenderness, and binds us up as one / This kind of love will always see us through
Our love will go the distance though the dusty road is long / May our children and their children sing this song:
Mama and Daddy loved each other / Through the good and bad / When they started out together love was all they had / It wasn’t always easy, this melding of two lives / But because of their commitment love survives
