Test of Time © 1999							
Words by: Brent Lumkin
Music by: Allison McCulloch

It'd been five long years since that fateful night
When the storm clouds started to form
He looked into her deep blue eyes
And broke his promise of forever he'd sworn

She didn't know what to say
She just felt as if her world had slipped away
So she turned to him and with tears in her eyes
And told him true love will stand the test of time

Chorus:
If love is meant to be
Then you can set it free
Cause it will come back to you
True love will stand the test of time
True love will stand the test of time

Both moved on with their lives
Both got good jobs and settled down
But they both knew something was missin'
And it wasn't the huggin' or kissin'

Both had lovers since they broke apart
But no one seemed to hold the key to their hearts
They both knew who that someone was
They just wondered where that person was

(Repeat Chorus)

He finally got courage to call her up
She was surprised and felt joy back in her heart
They decided to meet and that small café
On the edge of town where they first met

They hoped within their hearts
Burned the same passion that was there at the start
Well she walked in and saw him sittin' alone
At that two person booth where their love was first sworn

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
When their eyes met they both knew it was there
So they sat speechless and continued to stare

(Repeat Chorus)
