Live To Tell

Performed by Madonna, composition, production and lyrics by Madonna, Patrick Leonard.


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

*   [chorus:]
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned
Til then
It will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once
I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside you can't take that from me

[repeat *]

**   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

[repeat * **]
[repeat * and fade]
