Cecil (Life Goes On) Lyrics

Cecil was a hard-workin' simple man He raised six sons and a daughter One of them became my father His opinion was he was here to live Till he was too weak to work any longer Then he became much stronger And like a leaf on a tree he would bud in the spring And then fall to the ground in the autumn And in death he would leave to this earth reasons for life And life goes on Until it stops And a man walks on Until he drops And when life ends Well it's better still 'Cause another life goes on Life goes on, another life goes on It always will Life goes on Daddy married mom when he was seventeen They had me and my sister and brother We all still love each other Some day dad will go to where his dad is And I bet Cecil laughs when he sees him 'Cause they always were the best friends Just as sure as there's dirt here beneath my feet There is surely a heaven above me And I live in a hope that is far beyond my days That life goes on Untili t stops And a man walks on Until he drops And when life ends Well it's better still 'Cause another life goes on Life goes on Another life goes on Life goes on Until it stops And I believe a man walks on Until he drops And when life ends Well it's better still 'Cause another life goes on Life goes on, another life goes on It always will Life goes on Life goes on Oh, yeah, ooo Life goes on
