Love Lives (events Of The Heart) Lyrics - Singles - Chad Brock

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
