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
[Chorus:] 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
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:] 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
[Repeat Chorus]
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)
