Tell them
Sweetheart
Did you hear the rumours?
People are whispering, they say:
Our love is a myth… a fairy tale
It can’t be real
Too good to be true
Sweetheart
People are talking, they say:
Something surreal happened between those two
The fable of their love is legendary
Mighty death has failed to obliterate
Their everlasting union
Sweetheart
People are mumbling, they say:
Love cannot survive marital ties
Nor the test of time
Love dies when you sign the papers
And as you say “… I do”
Sweetheart
Tell them it’s not true
Sweetheart
Tell them
Hair may turn grey
But hearts never do
Sweetheart
Tell them
Indeed… our life might be over
But our love is yet a seed
That only just began… to bloom
