"Love Survives" – Irene Cara and Freddie Jackson
The All Dogs Go to Heaven franchise began in 1989 with a theatrically released animated film, found divisive due to its morbid themes for a kids movie and 'confusing story'. However, despite the box office bomb that it was, all losses were recovered when it became one of the most successful videocassette sales of all time. Unfortunately, it was also the final project featuring child actress Judith Barsi, who—along with her mother—was victim to a murder-suicide committed by her father. The song "Love Survives" is dedicated to her memory.
Now I know you're safe here in my heart
You will always be with me
We'll never be apart
Never knew how strong my love could be
You're the one I've waited for
Now you're home
I believe
Love survives beyond our lives
I feel those ties growing stronger
(Growing stronger)
Love survives the tears we've cried
Yes, love
(Yes, love)
Survives it all
Love survives it all
Ooooh
Even when we want to run and hide
Love comes in to pull us through
From deep inside
Oh, the magic
The magic
Has made us who we are
Who we are
Don't you see we've come so far?
Take my hand
You made me understand
Love survives beyond our lives
I feel those ties growing stronger
(Growing stronger)
Love survives the tears we've cried
Yes, love
(Yes, love)
Survives it all
Love survives it all
Oh
Love survives beyond our lives
Oh, I feel those ties growing stronger
(Growing stronger)
Love survives the tears we've cried
Yes, love
(Yes, love)
Survives it all
Love survives it all
Love survives it all
