"Life Goes On" lyrics - SHARI ULRICH

Take the ring off of your finger
Take the pictures off the wall
Phone your friends up one by one
To say "it's over"
Let the words and tears fall

Tell your kids "your Daddy's on the phone
He wants to tell you both goodnight"
You tuck them in and say the words
You try to believe
"Everything will be alright"

Oh you might think you know what's right or wrong
You only know when - Life goes on
In one day all the world you knew is gone
All that's left is - Life goes on

Heard the news about your boy today

Take the blankest from your sleeping bed
Lay them out beneath the stars
Feel the wonder of it all
We're so small
In this place - by the grace - of a beating heart

We might think we live on higher ground
Warm and dry and safe and sound
In one day all the world you knew is gone
All that's left is Life Goes On

We can build these towers tall and strong
Never think that they might fall
In one day all the world we knew is gone
All that's left is life goes on

In just a moment he was gone
All your friends hear one by one
The unthinkable's come
Let the words and tears fall

We all wonder how we'd bear the loss
How we'd face the empty room
Surely every day that dawns
We'd think "this must be wrong
'Cause the world is missing you"

You might think you know you're weak or strong
You only know when life goes on
In one day all the world you knew is gone
All that's left is - Life goes on
