Lyrics:
“Old Loves Never Die”
To just give up and say words like goodbye
After all we’ve been through with each other
I still believe that old loves never dieThe least that we can do is talk it over
And consider giving our love one more try
I think we owe that much to one another
And I still believe that old loves never die
If our love dies it won’t go to Heaven
‘Cause it’s already been there all the time
If you must go I hope that you’ll remember
I still believe that old loves never die
If you must go I hope that you’ll remember
I still believe that old loves never die
