They say it's gonna rain, blue sky is gonna break
Can you tell me why do good things always have to end?
It seems like yesterday, but it only just begun
Laughing in the sun, I'd hoped you'd be my lifelong friend

Love is true, it cuts in two, between pleasure and pain
Between sunshine and rain and between me and you
I'm alive, they say it's gonna rain but I'll survive
And though I'm cryin' out that I'm in pain, I will love again

And my love is too cold, oh, to see your love grow cold
Suddenly I feel a shadow hanging over me

Love is true, it cuts in two: between pleasure and pain
Between sunshine and rain and between me and you
I'm alive, they say it's gonna rain but I'll survive
And though I'm cryin' out that I'm in pain, I will love again

I'm alive, they say it's gonna rain but I'll survive
And though I'm cryin' out that I'm in pain, I will love again

I'm alive, they say it's gonna rain but I'll survive
And though I'm cryin' out that I'm in pain, I will love again

I'm alive

Love is true, it cuts in two, between pleasure and pain
Between sunshine and rain and between me and you
I'm alive, they say it's gonna rain but I'll survive
And though I'm cryin' out that I'm in pain, I will love again

I'm alive, they say it's gonna rain but I'll survive
And though I'm cryin' out that I'm in pain, I will love again
