Yes - I know it was first written for the still born Phantom sequel - I just don't think it's much of a song, or why he wouldnt right a better big song for the new show ... the other original LOVE NEVER DIES mistake was not incorporating themes from PHANTOM - maybe even reprises - which EVERY one in the audience was waiting for. The production also looked really cheap next to Maria Bjornsons extraordinary PHANTOM designs. The book was the biggest culprit - I mean - Christine dying, not the Phantom? WTF is that about? Ah well. Just as PHANTOM was the story of Andrew and Sarah Brightman, so LOVE NEVER DIES simply shows us how Andrew now thinks of Sarah,

The lyrics of this title song are such a litany of leaden cliches about love. It's so generic and jejune, like a bad Hallmark card.

''Love never dies.
Love never falters.
Once it has spoken,
Love is yours.
Love never fades.
Love never alters.
Hearts may get broken,
Love endures...''

''Love Never Dies'' seems like an even blander variation of ''Love Changes Everything'' (though I prefer its melody more).

I can never hear “Love Changes Everything” without hearing either the Forbidden Broadway lyrics, or the version my kids sang,,which started, “Love, love changes everything, hands and fingers, knees and toes...” with choreography, too.
