(Skip Ewing, Danny Wilde) In the birth announcements on the fourteenth page 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 |
