Chad Brock - Love Lives (Events Of the Heart) lyrics

Of the small-town daily news

It read Lilah Thompson had a baby boy

Six pounds at 10:02

But they didn't list the father

He was carefully ignored

No mention of the scuffle in the corridor

But the questions still got asked

At the nurse's station he was close enough

To hear her call his name

He said, "It isn't fair, but if he knows I'm here

Her dad will go insane

If there's something you can do about it

Would you try

I just want to hear our baby cry

Even if it's through the glass"

Oh, once in awhile when the odds are against love

And all the events of the heart are on trial

If somebody gives

And leaves the door open

To the power of hope and the will to forgive

Love lives

Three suitcases and a baby seat

And their lives were in a car

Stealing off to the city where they both believed

They could make it if they worked real hard

Three weeks later they were out of that cheap motel

Having dinner at the Taco Bell

When he gave her the ring

Oh, once in awhile when the odds are against love

And all the events of the heart are on trial

If somebody gives

And leaves the door open

To the power of hope and the will to forgive

Love lives

When the preacher said, "If anyone objects

Speak now or hold your peace"

Every eye in the church turned to watch the man

Who rose up from his seat

But when he said

"I'm sorry for the things I didn't understand

Can I give you to this man"

Everybody cried

Oh, once in awhile when the odds are against love

And all the events of the heart are on trial

If somebody gives

And leaves the door open

To the power of hope and the will to forgive

Love lives

Love lives
