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, emotional tune.
