"Live to Tell" is the first single by American singer-songwriter Madonna from her third studio album, True Blue, and it was released on March 26, 1986 by Sire Records. It is the title song to the 1986 motion picture At Close Range.
Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, this was also the fourth Madonna single within two years which was affiliated with a motion picture soundtrack, and the first commercially available collaboration with Leonard, who would go on to become one of Madonna's most consistent and critically acclaimed collaborators.
It topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of June 7, 1986, and reached number two on the UK singles chart (being blocked by Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus"). The song also became Madonna's first #1 hit on the US adult contemporary chart, where it stayed at the top for three weeks.
Lyrics
I have a tale to tell Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well I was not ready for the fall Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned, 'till then It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives The light that you could never see It shines inside, you can't take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned, 'till then It will burn inside of me
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
