(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

Youre slipping away from me
How can I make you see
The warmth has left your heart
Its throwing us apart

Dont let true love die
Dont let it pass us by
Open your heart to me
Make things as they used to be

Our love is falling
And its hard to hold
Its a flaming fire
I cant control

How can I find the words to say
To keep our love from burning away
Please help me hold on to our love
Love me and Ill make you oh so happy

Dont let true love die
Dont let it pass us by
Anything you ask Ill give
As long as we shall live

Ill do anything forget my pride
cause desperations building up inside
Your heart has turned
To hard cold stone
That I cant touch or leave alone
Why break this aching heart of mine
Come and hold me and tenderly console me

Do anything for you
Anything you ask me too
All of my love Ill give
Just give us a chance to live

Dont let true love die
Dont let it pass us by
Open your heart to me
Let things be as they used to be

Dont let true love die
Dont let it pass us by
Anything you ask Ill give
As long as we shall live

Dont let true love die
Dont let it pass us by
