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 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
