Love Lives On
Jordan Smith's "Love Lives On" is a tender ballad about enduring love that transcends physical separation and even death. The lyrics speak of carrying a loved one in every breath and heartbeat, feeling their presence despite absence, and believing that love cannot be broken by distance or any power. The song offers comfort to those grieving or missing someone, affirming that love persists and remains with us always. While not explicitly religious, its themes of hope, eternal connection, and the unbreakable bond of love resonate with Christian beliefs about love's endurance and the hope of reunion.
In the silence of this empty room
There's an echo in my heart for you
In my heart for you
Trying to fix it but I never will
There's a blank space that only you can fill
That only you can fill
And when I close my eyes I see you
Still, you're in every breath I'm breathing
Still, you're in every heartbeat and
On and on and on
Our love lives on
Still, I can feel you on my skin
Still, I can hear your voice within
On and on and on
Our love lives on
Our l-l-love lives on, yeah
Our l-l-love lives on
No distance could ever separate
No power could ever take this love away
You will always stay with me
And when I close my eyes I feel you
Still, you're in every breath I'm breathing
Still, you're in every heartbeat and
On and on and on
Our love lives on
Still, I can feel you on my skin
Still, I can hear your voice within
On and on and on
Our love lives on
Our l-l-love lives on, yeah
Our l-l-love lives on
All the places that we came from
I will carry to the place I go
I will carry you, carry you, carry you, carry you
I will carry you, carry you, carry you
I will carry you, carry you, carry you
I will carry you, carry you, carry you, carry you
Still, you're in every breath I'm breathing
Still, you're in every heartbeat and
On and on and on
Our love lives on
Still, I can feel you on my skin
Still, I can hear your voice within
On and on and on
Our love lives on
