Madonna Live To Tell 1986 ------------ I have a tell to tale Sometimes it gets so hard To hide it well I was not ready for the fall Too blind to read the writing on the wall CHORUS: A man can tell a thousand lies I'ver 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 glows she gives The light that you could never see It shines inside you can't take that from me CHORUS: 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 CHROUS: The truth is near far behind You kept it hidden well If I live to tell The secret I knew then Will I ever have the chance again
