LOVE REMAINS
She Was Born One February Day
A Child Of God On Her Way
Her Mama Smiled, Her Daddy Cried
A Miracle Before Their Eyes
They Protect Her Til She's Of Age
Though It All - Love Remains
Raymond Came Along, Takes Her For His Bride
She Stood Faithful By His Side
With Tears And Sweat They Built A Home
Raised Two Sons Of Their Own
They Shared Joy, They Shared Pain
Through It All - Love Remains
Friends Come And Go, But They Don't Last
Before She Knew The Future Became The Past
In Spite Of What's Been Lost
So Much Has Been Gained
Her Family - Living Proof - Her Love Remains
Grandma, I Don't Know What I'll Do
On This Earth Without You
We All Live, We All Die
But Today Is Not Goodbye
The Sun Comes Up And Seasons Change
Through It All - An Eternal Burning Flame
Hope Lives On - We'll Meet Again - And Love Remains
