I saw a young white boy open up the door
For an old black lady who was walkin' in the store
And it hit me, yeah, it me, things ain't all that badI saw a homeless man pull a dollar from his shoe
Slip it in the plate as it was passin' down the pew
And I wondered, I couldn't help but wonder, was it the last he hadOh, I believe that love's alive and well
Though the way things are these days
Some say it's hard to tell
And I've seen one little candle
Keep away the darkness all by itself
And that's the reason why
I know love's alive and wellThey'd been together sixty-three years
Still they smile at each other and their eyes fill up with tears
Ain't that something, but ain't that how it's supposed to beOh, I believe that love's alive and well
Though the way things are these days
Some say it's hard to tell
And I've seen one little candle
Keep away the darkness all by itself
And that's the reason why
I know love's alive and wellYeah, that's the reason why
I know love's alive and well
