Marilyn Martin - Love Can Last lyrics

It can burn you, it can bruise you It can bring you to your knees Sometimes it's so illusive, barely out of reach And it may slip right through your fingers If it's handled carelessly So much of it depends on starting out as friends Cause love can last, when it's a slow burning fire Not a flame that consumes everything in its path It can scatter like ashes, it can shatter like gla** But when there's trust then love can last I have chased like a rainbow, I've embraced it much too fast I've shivered in its shadow, and worn it like a bench But I never felt the courage to give it all I have Until you came to me, now finally I believe That love can last, when it's a slow burning fire Not a flame that consumes everything in its path It can scatter like ashes, it can shatter like gla** But when there's trust then love can last Anytime I'm holding you I realize we are living proof That love can last, when it's a slow burning fire Not a flame that consumes everything in its path It can scatter like ashes, it can shatter like gla** But when there's trust then love can last I know with us love can last Woo-hoo-ooh, oh
