Declan McGarry - Love Lives On

I had a good friend, and Lord I really miss him
But he's still with me though he's gone away
We used to talk about a lot of things like what the future might bring
Last night as I was dreaming, I could hear him say

Don't be afraid to love and be loved
It's all we really have to keep and give away.
And don't delay cause life ain't gonna wait
When everything is gone only love lives on

Life can be so fragile, burning like a candle
Only for a little while but what a lovely flame
So I'm gonna let my light shine even if it's just a short time
Cause in the end what matters is the love we give and take

I won't be afraid to love and be loved
It's all we really have to keep and give away.
And don't delay cause life ain't gonna wait
When everything is gone only love lives on

And when the night takes me away
I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
