I saw a young white boy open up the door
For an old black lady who was walkin in the store
And it hit me, yeah, it me, things ain't all that bad
I saw a homeless man pull a dollar from his shoe
Slip it in the plate as it was passin down the pew
And I wondered, I couldn't help but wonder, was it the last he had
Oh, I believe that loves alive and well
Though the way things are these days
Some say its hard to tell
And I've seen one little candle
Keep away the darkness all by itself
And thats the reason why
I know loves alive and well
Theyd been together sixty-three years
Still they smile at each other and their eyes fill up with tears
Ain't that something, but ain't that how it's supposed to be
Oh, I believe that loves alive and well
Though the way things are these days
Some say its hard to tell
And Ive seen one little candle
Keep away the darkness all by itself
And thats the reason why
I know loves alive and well
Yeah, thats the reason why
I know loves alive and well
