This Love Is Here To Stay
by Michael Doyle

In our final steps toward the altar
I feel that sometimes we falter
It seems for all purposes and intents
The pressure is on, and it's getting intense

Many factors lead to some off-days
That leaves us side-tracked in a daze
Maybe no is the answer in the analysis
As we feel the struggle of our paralysis

Broken trust is the deal that busts
The deal that must be kept if it's not to burst
When black is white and up is down
There's no way to that victory crown

All the struggles that we've worked through
You are my person - I'm in love with you
We've had so much thinking to work through
I'm certain that nobody else will ever do

I know that I'll never be above you
It shows that I'm not there below you
Yes, I know that I'm right here with you
Through thick or thin, no one else will do

Broken trust is the deal that busts
The deal that must be kept if it's not to burst
When black is white and up is down
There's no way to that victory crown

You'll be my bride, I'll be your groom-to-be
It's perfectly flawless, this sentimentality
With a twist of fate and a smiling look
We're ready for another chapter in life's book

Everyone has their ideals about working it out
To move beyond the flaws and costly doubts
There comes a time to have it no other way
One more look says, this love is here to stay

Broken trust is the deal that busts
The deal that must be kept if it's not to burst
When black is white and up is down
There's no way to that victory crown
