Song: Live to Tell
Singer: Madonna
Written by: Madonna and Pat Leonard
Album: True Blue
Year: 1986

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard
to hide it well

I was no ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing
on the wall

Chorus:

A man can tell a thousand lies
I´ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
Till then, it will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives
I´ve seen it once,
I know the warmth she gives

The light that you could never see
It shines inside
You can´t take that from me

Chorus

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secret I knew then,
Will I ever have the chance again?

Musical Intermediate

If I ran away,
I´d never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart?
Will it grow cold, the secret that I have,
Will I grow old?
How would they hear, when will they learn,
How could they know?

Chorus

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secret I knew then,
Will I ever have the chance again?
