Life Goes On

Survival In Spite Of The Pain

Life Goes On

 

Many is the time sorrow has invaded our lives.
The loss of a loved one, lost only to us,
For they went to paradise.
Pain fills my heart and I cry...
But my heart will go on.

 

When in my childhood my Father went away,
I knew he would never return.
They came and took him to the funeral home that day
And in my heart a fire of sorrow burned...
But my heart will go on.

 

To me, you were like a mother.
You treated me as if I were your own.
The seeds of love and kindness shown,
Have been with me my whole life long.
I was with you when the angels came,
I held your hand as they gave you wings.
You took my heart with you
When you made that journey home...
But my heart will go on.

 

Forever is a long long time.
But when we were wed,
I vowed a forever love for you.
Forever didn't last that long,
For you went away and
left me with the blues...
But my heart will go on.

 

The night I saw the newscast
With my brother's picture there,
I didn't have to ask
Because they spoke without a care.
This couple was found dead today,
Shot to death in a horrible way,
My heart cries for the loss I've known,
But my heart will go on.

 

But time waits for no one,
It forms our future from our past,
And though time has left me with
Sad memories that will last...
My heart will go on.

 

I live now for others...one day at a time,
And in living for others, each day I find
The healing of love giving
Is dimming the scars on my heart...
And in the giving of love
I have made a new start...
And my heart will go on.
