A million old soldiers will fade away But a dream goes on forever I'm left standing here, Ive got nothing to say All is silent within my dream A thousand true loves will live and die But a dream goes on forever The days and the years all go streaking by But the time is stopped within my dream We all have our everyday hopes and fears And you'll find no exception in me But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears Over life's biggest tragedy You're so long ago and so far away But a dream goes on forever I guess I believe that I'll see you one day For without it there is no dream You're so far away and so long ago But my dream lives on forever How much I love you you'll never know 'Till you join me within my dream How much I love you you'll never know 'Till you join me within my dream

Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around Down Main Street after midnight with a brand new pack of cigs A fresh one hangin' from her lips and a beer between her legs She'd ride down to the river and meet with all her friends The road goes on forever and the party never ends Sonny was a loner he was older than the rest He was going into the Navy but he couldn't pass the test So he hung around town he sold a little pot The law caught wind of Sonny and one day he got caught But he was back in business when they set him free again The road goes on forever and the party never ends Sonny's playin' 8-ball at the joint where Sherry works When some drunken outta towner put his hand up Sherry's skirt Sonny took his pool cue laid the drunk out on the floor Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar and walked on out the door She's runnin' right behind him reachin' for his hand The road goes on forever and the party never ends They jumped into his pickup Sonny jammed her down in gear Sonny looked at Sherry and said lets get on outta here The stars were high above them and the moon was in the east The sun was settin' on them when they reached Miami Beach They got a hotel by the water and a quart of Bombay gin The road goes on forever and the party never ends They soon ran out of money but Sonny knew a man Who knew some Cuban refugees that dealt in contraband Sonny met the Cubans in a house just off the route With a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot The cards were on the table when The Law came bustin' in The road goes on forever and the party never ends The Cubans grabbed the goodies, Sonny grabbed the Jack He broke a bathroom window and climbed on out the back Sherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side Where a lawman tackled Sonny and was readin' him his rights She stepped into the alley with a single-shot .410 The road goes on forever and the party never ends They left the lawman lyin' and they made their getaway They got back to the motel just before the break of day Sonny gave her all the money and he blew her a little kiss If they ask you how this happened say I forced you into this She watched him as his taillights disappeared around the bend The road goes on forever and the party never ends Its Main Street after midnight just like it was before 21 months later at the local grocery store Sherry buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer The headlines read that Sonny is goin' to the chair She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz The road goes on forever and the party never ends

We were 15 You sat right next to me, we shared a textbook on chemistry You were my first, so it's no surprise that you got the best of me But what's perspective? Everyone's reckless when they're just 15 I never thought that we'd be 17 And you got your hands on me, begging me to give you a reason to stay Yeah, I was so naive, watching while you turn to leave Didn't think a heart could heal after it breaks But love goes on, pages turn Ends to songs, lessons learned Sometimes it's here, and then it's gone But that's okay, love goes on Love goes on I had my doubts I was hard to get to when I first met you that night in Old Town I was defensive, but you were relentless in breaking my guard down You asked me, who broke it? Stole some emotion Well, I'd have to recount I never thought that I'd bring 17 all the way to you and me Thinking history repeats and you never stay You said you're so naive, thinking I could ever leave Don't you know a heart can heal after it breaks? And love goes on, pages turn Ends to songs, lessons learned Sometimes it's here, and then it's gone But that's okay, love goes on Love goes on Yeah-yeah When it's here, and then it's gone, yeah-yeah And you think you've lost the one, yeah-yeah Oh, when all is said and done, yeah-yeah-yeah Love goes on, pages turn Ends to songs, lessons I learned Sometimes it's here, then it's gone But that's okay, love goes on Love goes on, pages turn Ends to songs, lessons I learned Sometimes it's here, and then it's gone But that's okay, yeah, love goes on Love goes on Love goes on Love goes on

Seeing colours all around me, I don't recognise the palette Suddenly, I feel a change in me Like a thunder in the deep, I light up, I just had to grab it Suddenly, I see the world differently Every time you put your arms around me, it feels like forever The way you move is like a mystery Excuse the madness, I just had to try and put it into words The way you make me feel, sugar sweet Like a sun that never sets Like the heartbeat in my chest It's like a permanent unrest You fill the emptiness and it goes on My love goes on and on and on and on and on My love goes on and on and on and on and on My love goes on and on and on and on and on My love goes on (my love goes on) My love goes on (my love goes on) My love goes on Every moment I spend with you go to million miles an hour I'm flying through outer space I know good things keep on coming to an end, but this is real The way you make me feel The stars get brighter, when we walk into the night, we say goodbye But it's the only thing I keep for life Excuse the madness, I just had to try and put it into words 'Cause you're my universe When the music stops (it goes on and on and on) Higher than mountaintops (it goes on and on and on and on) When they start the clocks (it goes on and on and on and on) You know this time, it's us (it goes on and on and on and on) My love goes on and on and on and on and on (on and on and on) My love goes on and on and on and on and on (my love goes on and on and on) My love goes on and on and on and on and on (oh) My love goes on (my love goes on) My love goes on (my love goes on) My love goes on Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, ooh It goes on and on and on When the music stops (it goes on and on and on) Higher than mountaintops (it goes on and on and on and on) When they start the clocks (it goes on and on and on) You know this time, it's us (it goes on and on and on) My love goes on and on and on and on and on (ooh) My love goes on and on and on and on and on (my love goes on) My love goes on and on and on and on and on (ooh) My love goes on (my love goes on) My love goes on (my love goes on) My love goes on and on and on and on and on My love goes on and on and on and on and on My love goes on and on and on and on and on My love goes on (my love goes on) My love goes on (my love goes on) My love goes on
