Life Goes On

Will you still see my face 
When I'm no longer around? 
Would you still hear my voice 
When I'm not there to make a sound? 
And what will you listen to 
After I've sung my final song? 
I just don’t know, but life goes on. 

I tried my best to do right by you. 
Look, I'm not perfect, 
Look at all I put you through. 
We had good times and some bad, 
From Kool-Aid to Dom Perignon. 
And at the end of the day, life goes on. 

You and I go on and on, 
And we don’t always get it right. 
Can’t bear the thought of living without you 
Even for one single day or night. 
We’ve got to move ahead 
Because what's done is done. 
So making the best of each day 
Is what I pray. 
Life goes on. 

Do you remember when I first touched your soul? 
I always told you, that together we’d grow old. 
But if I should happen to leave this world, 
Forever I’m not gone. 
We’ll meet up again, life goes on. 

You and I go on and on. 
We know one day the time will come 
When one of us will have to leave 
The other alone in this world. 
We’ve got to move ahead 
Because what's done is done. 
So making the best of each day 
Is what I pray. 
Life goes on. Life goes on.

Songwriter's Notes: Losing a loved one can be devastating for family and friends of the departed. This song reflects a somber look into how life must carry on when one loses someone close, particularly a spouse or mate. A laid-back strumming sound of an acoustic guitar maintains the mood in this pensive and emotional tune.
