[Verse 1] The night is long, the stars are low, The wind keeps whisperin’ where’d you go. I reach across an empty bed, Hear your name inside my head. You took your love, but left the song, And my heart keeps singin’ all night long— Though you’re gone, my love stays true, I’ll keep on loving you. [Chorus – Call & Response] (Lead: Clara Jean) I’ll keep on loving you, (Backups) Ooooh, yes I will. (Lead) Through the lonely nights, (Backups) Through the still. (Lead) No matter what you say or do, (All) I’ll keep on loving you. [Verse 2] You said goodbye, but not forever, Your touch still lives in every letter. Every tear that falls tonight, Shines like love in the pale moonlight. And though my arms can’t hold you near, Your memory’s still crystal clear— The past won’t fade, the dream feels new, I’ll keep on loving you. [Chorus – Full Harmony] I’ll keep on loving you, Through the dark and through the blue. Every breath, every prayer, My heart will find you there. Oh, no matter what you put me through, I’ll keep on loving you. [Bridge – Soft gospel swell] (Clara Jean): Love don’t fade, it just hides away, Waitin’ for another day. (Darlene & Lottie): Ooooh, another day… (Clara Jean): When you come back, you’ll see it’s true, My love’s been waitin’, just for you. [Breakdown – Strings and gentle drums] (Call & Response) Still in love! (Still in love!) Heart so true! (Heart so true!) No matter what, I’ll wait for you! (I’ll wait for you!) [Final Chorus – Key change, swelling strings] I’ll keep on loving you, ‘Cause that’s all I know to do. Time may fade, and dreams may fall, But my heart will outlast it all! Ooooh, I’ll keep on loving you… Forever true… I’ll keep on loving you. [Outro – Fade, soft harmony] (Ad libs) “I’ll keep on…” “Keep on loving you…” “Mmm, yes I will…” “I’ll keep on loving you…”
