Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Life Goes On" lyrics


You get a thunderbolt from out of the blueAnd it changes everything about the life you knewYes the storm breaks and your heart achesAnd then life goes on.
When a long time love just disappearsYou need someone new to help you through those impatient yearsAnd those sad days, all those mad daysWhile your life goes on.
You know it's over but you can't let goIt's not easy when it comes to saying all those last goodbyesIn that moment when your dreams lie scattered in the dustYou find something you can trustLove comes to meet you like a brand new dayLove comes to you all along the way.
You're walking down the street but you're lost in spaceAnd the future comes to meet you and you like its faceFrom a blue note comes a new noteAnd your life goes on.
You don't need miracles to point the wayWhen you know that love is still the reason to believeIn that moment when you know you might have given upSomeone fills your lovin' cupAnd lies beside you ‘til the break of dayLove comes to you all along the way.
A million stars shine in the darkest nightFrom across the universe there comes eternal lightFrom this blue world to a new worldSomewhere life goes on.
Life goes on...Life goes on...
