Love Goes On

**Love Goes On** [Intro: expressive female lead over rhythmic piano and handclaps, two bars only] One little spark… Look what we started! [Full band entrance: driving disco-rock drums, melodic bass, soaring strings, bright brass hook] [Verse 1: female lead, confident rhythmic singing] One open door. One place to stay. You took my hand. I found my way. [Pre-Chorus: female lead, rising melody, backing harmonies gradually join] Now it's my turn. I'm reaching out. One voice becomes A thousand voices now. [Chorus: strong female lead, warm backing harmonies] Love goes on, On and on. From my hands to yours, We pass it on. Love goes on, Let it show. Give a little love And let it grow. [Post-Chorus: female lead with joyful backing choir] Oh-oh-oh! On and on! Oh-oh-oh! Love goes on! [Verse 2: same female lead, lively melodic phrasing] A midnight call. An empty chair. You said my name. And I was there. [Pre-Chorus: female lead, fuller backing harmonies] Now it's our turn. We're reaching out. One voice becomes A thousand voices now. [Chorus: female lead, bigger choir, fuller strings and brass] Love goes on, On and on. From my hands to yours, We pass it on. Love goes on, Let it show. Give a little love And let it grow. [Eight-bar instrumental celebration: soaring melodic electric guitar over dancing strings, punchy bass and full drums] [Bridge: female lead and backing choir, bass and handclaps maintain the pulse] [Female lead] Can you feel it? [Backing choir] Getting stronger! [Female lead] Can you hear us? [Backing choir] We're together! [Female lead: rising melodic phrase] Pass it on. Let it grow. Take it with you Everywhere you go. [Final Chorus: lift one whole tone, powerful female lead, full backing choir and band] Love goes on, On and on. From my hands to yours, We pass it on. Love goes on, Let it show. Give a little love And let it grow. [Final Post-Chorus: female lead ad-libs above joyful choir] Oh-oh-oh! On and on! Oh-oh-oh! Love goes on! [Coda: same female lead sings in German, full rhythmic band] Wir brauchen Liebe. Du und ich. Wir brauchen Liebe. Vergiss das nicht. [Backing choir: growing harmonies beneath the female lead] Love goes on! Love goes on! [Grand instrumental ending: guitar carries the chorus melody, strings rise, brass answers, drums build into a final fill] [Female lead and choir: sustained final sung phrase] Love goes on! [Big resolved final chord, let instruments ring naturally]
