Of the small-town daily news
it read lilah Thompson had a baby boy
Six pound at 10:02
But they didn't list the father
He was carefully ignored

No mention of the scuffle in the corridor
But the question still got asked
At the nurses' 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 insaneIf 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"

C-Oh, once i a while
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 wiil to forgive
Love lives

Three suitcases and a baby seat
And thier lives are in a car
Stealling off to the city they both believe
They can make it if they work real hard
Three weeks later they were out of the cheap motel
Having dinner at the Toco Bell
When he gave her the ring

C-Oh, once i a while
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 wiil 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

C-Oh, once i a while
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 wiil to forgive
Love lives
Love Lives
