Should Love Be Saved? 
Copyright 1978 Carl M. Rodia

verse
When long-time lovers break their vows
When pushing comes to shove
Do we blame the fools who’ve loved and lost, 
Or do we recklessly blame love?

Should Love Be Saved
Up from the ashes left
of two burning hearts
That no longer glow?

Should Love Be Saved
With all the memories
Of just how sweet love was
Not so long ago?

Or should love now be cursed
With the ‘bad’ turned to ‘worse’
Love that now seems so sad to realize?
Or should love stand unscathed
Apart from it all
Still sacred to our crying eyes?

Should Love Be Saved
And love’s reputation,
Is that something two fools can decide?
Yes, let love be saved!
Yes, let sweet love be saved!
We live, we love, we try

	First romance floats you up
	Then it flies you around
	Makes you hopelessly dependent
	Then it dies
	But our love stands unscathed
	Apart from it all
	Still sacred to our crying eyes

Should Love Be Saved
And love’s reputation,
Is that something two fools can decide?
Yes, let love be saved!
Yes, let sweet love be saved!
We’ll live, We’ll love, We’ll try

We’ll live
We’ll love
We’ll try

Should Love Be saved?
