Then I'll keep on loving you
And if the dawn comes tomorrow and we know that it is true
Then I'll keep on loving you
What the thing changes sky to fall the dawn wouldn't come the world wouldn't stall
I wouldn't care as long as you're near it wouldn't matter to me at all
And if the stars stay in heaven and the moon stays in the blue
Then I'll keep on loving you
If I ever should lose you then I know just what I'll do
I'll just keep on loving you
You are heaven to me dear you are every dream come true

And I will always be faithful and I'm sure that you will too
And I'll keep of loving you then I'll keep on loving you
