Don't Let True Love Die

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)

You're slipping away from me

How can I make you see

The warmth has left your heart

It's throwing us apart

Don't let true love die

Don't let it pass us by

Open your heart to me

Make things as they used to be

Our love is falling

And it's hard to hold

It's a flaming fire

I can't control

How can I find the words to say

To keep our love from burning away

Please help me hold on to our love

Love me and I'll make you oh so happy

Don't let true love die

Don't let it pass us by

Anything you ask I'll give

As long as we shall live

I'll do anything forget my pride

'Cause desperation's building up inside

Your heart has turned

To hard cold stone

That I can't touch or leave alone

Why break this aching heart of mine

Come and hold me and tenderly console me

Do anything for you

Anything you ask me too

All of my love I'll give

Just give us a chance to live

Don't let true love die

Don't let it pass us by

Open your heart to me

Let things be as they used to be

Don't let true love die

Don't let it pass us by

Anything you ask I'll give

As long as we shall live

Don't let true love die

Don't let it pass us by
