Ricky Van Shelton - Living Proof Lyrics






She hangs up the phone and her heart starts to pound
Someone just told her an old friend's in town
And a million old feelings come rushing in
Start tearing to pieces what it took years to mend

She's living proof, true love never dies
Through all of the heartaches and all the goodbyes
She just can't forget it, Lord knows, she's tried
She's living proof, true love never dies

You answer the door and I say, "Hello"
If you don't want to see me, just tell me, I'll go
But I can't love without you, it's only pretend
There's no love like you're sweet love, can we try it again?

We're living proof, true love never dies
Through all of the heartaches and all the goodbyes
I just can't forget you, Lord knows, I've tried
We're living proof, true love never dies
Yes, we're living proof, true love never dies

    I was sitting in a restaurant one morning when I heard this song...it was one of my grandmother's favorites. As near as the time I heard it, she passed at about the same time this song played. I rarely heard this on the radio or any other place, for that matter. I think she was saying "goodbye" to me. At least, I like to think of it that way.

    t.... h....

    Inappropriate comment!

  53. k.... H....

  54. s.... g....

    The Words Ricky Put's in a song are amazing. but his voice is pure magic.He Is My All Time Favorite Singer. 

  55. J.... H....

    OMG  Those words!!

  56. w.... ....

    this was one of my grandmother's favorite songs.  Beyond the lyrics, it also makes my face wet just because I remember the day I made her the cassette from one of my cd's.  We listened to it quite a few times that day....

  57. R.... S....

    Love the song & pictures are beautiful He has a great voice...

  58. d.... a....

    i listen to this kind of music since high school, and still i keep on listening...this is from the philippines... 2 thumbs up.....

  59. d.... ....

    Beautiful song and beautiful pictures...I live in Knoxville but appreciate life away from the city...thank you.

  60. w.... ....

    How dit this great voice not become a SUPER STAR?

    w.... ....

    He got out of music and writes children's books, so I was told.

  61. d.... m....

    Ricky Van Shelton is absolutely my favorite singer. He has such a clean, pure voice. I did not know he is singing gospel. I'll have to check that out. I had the honor of seeing
    him in concert years ago. Loved him ever since.

  62. L.... ....

    Love this song and Ricky has one of the purest voices ever and was sad when he retired. All his children's book's, gospel CD and paintings were done long before he retired. From what I know he and his wife and just enjoying peace and quiet in VA. He might have had a longer career if radio as well as the big shots in Nashville would have let him do his music his way. He was treated very unfairly.

  63. J.... ....

    Great song - Love Ricky's talented fantastic voice !!! God BLess him --great pictures of your favorite part of the country ... thanks for posting this song - It lies deep in my heart on a personal level... Merry Christmas to all....

  64. B.... S....

    I love the Great Smoky Mountains, one of the most beautiful places on earth. Also love Ricky's voice, so pure and clean.

  65. w.... ....

    this was my grandmothers favorite song I recorded from CD to cassette back in the day...the morning she died, I heard it play on the radio about the time she died. someone made me think about it today, on Thanksgiving...and made me grateful to have had her in my life. Thank you for posting this.

  66. M.... M....

    Amazing singer.

  67. D.... W....

    ACC's #8 song of '89. God bless ya, Ricky Van! Thanx, Midnightryder, for postin' it. Have a blessed week!

  68. R.... P....

    Ricky Van Shelton has to be one of the greatest artists ever. I saw him several times in concert and wish he would return again. I miss him and his music terribly and have worn out several CD's. I have his video too. I sing his songs (though not NEARLY as good as him!) Thanks for sharing this!!! He is the best!

  69. M.... ....
