Life Goes On Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Life goes on and we pass through
Days of sunlight, days of tears
Live the way life comes to you
Foolish wasting precious years

[Verse 2]
Life goes on, one day you cry
Then your laughter fills the air
See the winter paint the sky
Feel a moment of despair

[Bridge]
One day you trust in love
The world exists for you
One day you trust no more
And then the world turns blue

[Verse 3]
Life goes and we pass through
Days of sunlight, days of tears
Live the way life comes to you
Foolish wasting precious years
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
One day you trust in love
The world exists for you
One day you trust no more
And then the world turns blue

[Verse 4]
Life goes and we pass through
Days of sunlight, days of tears
Live the way life comes to you
Foolish wasting precious years

[Verse 5]
Here today, tomorrow gone
Say goodbye and life goes on

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
