Love Goes On

When I said I love you, baby

You said knock on wood

I'm afraid I knocked harder

Than I probably should

Those mockingbird words got away from me

Wish I could take them back, yeah

I wonder how you've been

Since we kissed good-bye

'Cause the grass ain't any greener

here on my side

I thought the broken pieces

would all blow away

When the season changed

But nothing's changed

The alarm still rings at five-fifteen

The day goes off like a rifle

Mrs. Jones next door is still extreme

Goes on and on about the Bible

What comes around still goes around

Sun comes up, sun goes down

And love goes on

Yeah, love goes on when you're gone

If we ran into each other, wonder what I'd say

Baby, please come home

Or, looks like rain today

Heard you're moving to Denver

No, I'd never have guessed

Or would I just confess

It's an ache in the bones, it's a

ghost in the trees

It's the one little tear that could

fill up the sea

I happened to you, you happened to me

But now that's gone

And love goes on, yeah love goes on

I said, love goes on

And love goes on and on and on and on

Yeah, when you're gone

(It's an ache in the bones - it's a ghost

in the trees)

Yeah, yeah when you're gone

(It's the one little tear that could

fill up the sea)
