He wakes us at dawn
And leaves two or three
times a week
Lookin’ for the girl
He married back in ‘23
When I tell him Granny’s
been gone now
For a couple of years
He smiles and says, oh yeah
And holds back the tears
His mind comes and goes
But as long as
he’s got her memory
he’s never alone

True love never goes away
Once it’s in your heart
It’s there to stay
No matter where
life leads you
No matter how
things change
True love never
goes away

Sometimes when I
look in your eyes
I see Granny and Pa
Can’t help but
believe I’m seeing
The same thing he saw
The bond that
held them together
Is holding us now
It’s devotion that keeps
this whole world
Turnin’ around
The years may come and go
There’s a long and
winding river
That always flows

True love never goes away
Once it’s in your heart
Its there to stay
No matter where life leads you
No matter how things change
True love never goes away
True  love never goes away
