Good Love Lingers On

[Verse 1] 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 heart beats How many falling leaves [Pre-Chorus] How high can you fly till you can’t see the ground? [Chorus] Long after we are gone, good love lingers on, good love lingers on [Verse 2] Time’s the story in reverse That trains the 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 [Pre-Chorus] [Bridge] I’m never gonna leave you And when they lay my body down A 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] The creaking of your parents stairs Dancing in our underwear And the tree house that we made From a year of Saturdays The sound of sails against the rain We are only on our way And if eternity is true they will carve it out of you [Outro] If eternity is true, they will carve it out of you
