Influenced by Todd Rundgren’s 1985 album A Cappella (of course!) as well as other vocal groups (including The Nylons – for whom I was honored to audition in the early 1990’s), I wrote and arranged this multi-voice track and sequenced the drum part. Jimmy at the mixing board as usual.
Life belongs to us for always
‘Cause we’ve been strong for us through hard days
There was a lonely time when I was blind
And in my selfishness I left you behind
Until a healing song came into my mind
And so I keep holding on to that song
I know now our love is strong
Past is gone
Our love will go on and on
Lives a song for us, calling you and me
It silently sings on to us until we set it free
When it’s that melody I long to hear
Soon there’s a soothing voice that comes to my ear
And as it sings
Ringing notes take away my fear
So I keep holding on to this song
I know that our love is strong
Pain is gone
Our love will go on and on
Hear the song
Sweet melody
It will bring all things back to your memory
We’ll be free
There’s a song for us, every nation
We must find its key and our salvation
One day we’ll sing the harmony and hear the muse
Until then
It waits in our hearts
Until we choose pathways which let us cross the sea
And sail from lies to truths
So I keep holding on to this song
Knowing that our love is strong
Pain is gone
Our love will go on and on
Our love goes on and on
Our love is so strong
Pain be gone!
Our love will go on and on
Our love goes on and on
Love will go on
We will go on
Our love goes on and on
