Live to tell - Madonna

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I04DePAebXU


I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall

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

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

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 hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know.........

How could I have forgotten this song!

I have always loved it.......

Oh boy......I haven't heard it in the longest time...

Thank you, sweetie...:hug:

Where does it go?

I love this song.

Her best cd, imo.

:hi:

About a week ago oddly, love it.

Listening to it again now :)

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

There are so many great lines in this song.

Thanks for the post...

it was an appropriate song to hear at the end of my day.

great meaning...

yet a little depressing...

I never understood what she was trying to say with this.

...but I have no idea whether that's the case or not.

Personally, I find Madonna (oh, excuse me...Esther) pretty much intolerable -- except that she has the annoying trait of coming up with really great songs every now and then.

..and survival.

But, it could have many interpretations.

I love this song.
