Lyrics:
If I never see your loving face again, I’ll go on Loving you, till the endAnd if my broken heart and I don’t find a way to mend, I’ll go on Loving you, till the endThe years and miles, they seperate you from me, the pain may lessen more as time goes byBut as for me those memories will never end, I’ll go on Loving you, till the end(Lead steel and fiddle)If we’re ever free to Love again I know, straight to waiting arms, is where I’ll goAnd there I’ll stay forever and I’ll prove to you again, I’ll go on Loving you till the endI’ll go on Loving you, till the end
