The last time I thought about leaving Was the last time I made her cry I talked to myself out of believing That true true love never dies The first time I thought of returning Was just ten lonesome miles out of town But my foolish pride kept these wheels a turning And there was nothing on this earth gonna shut me down [Chorus] If I had one drop of water For each and every tear I have cried I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow True true love never dies The fires of anger turn to ashes And your pride will forsake you by and by The lonesomest night surely passes But that ol' true true love never dies [Chorus: x2] Well I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow True true love never dies
