This Is The Story

This is the story
Old as love
These two people
I can remember
The streets and the alleys
Of the town where he waited.

Standing alone
Looking up at her window
Still as a stone
What did he do?
What did he do?
Wrote the letter
"My heart is for you."
Afraid she'd never know

A voice that tells you hold on tight
With a grip of steel and a heart on fire
And a voice that tells you this can't be right
Which one is true and which the liar?

He had no future
She was a rich girl
He tried to see her
They kept her away
For he who had nothing
Had nothing to offer

In the still of the night
She read his letter
Swore on her life
Then what did she do?
What did she do?
Sent him a dove
Slipped from her room
And they sealed their love at dawn

A voice that tells you hold on tight
With a grip of steel and a heart on fire
And a voice that tells you this can't be right
Which one is true and which the liar?

This is the story
Old as love
These two people
I can remember
The streets and the alleys
Of the town where he waited.

Where are they now?
Are they still together?
Did it all work out?
I never heard
I never heard
If they lived in the sun
I only regret
The things I left undone

A voice that tells you hold on tight
With a grip of steel and a heart on fire
And a voice that tells you this can't be right
Which one is true and which the liar?
