[Intro]
[Verse]
In summer there was nothing left to do
But carry on, the way we knew he wanted us to do
Run the stand and work the farm, sleep exhausted, up at dawn
No time to think, and so it just went on
[Chorus]
It still goes on, it will go on
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
In the autumn it seemed that everything was gone
We turned and all we saw were shades of black and grey and brown
Empty fields on every hand, silent house and shuttered stand
Wasn t easy then to think of going on
[Chorus]
It still goes on, it will go on
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
But the winter was time for plans and dreaming
Catalogues and endless schemes, ideas that kept us all believing
We could keep the dream alive and make it grow, not just survive
Knowing that, drove out the cold and kept us warm
[Chorus]
It still goes on, it will go on
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
And the joy of springtime sun is warm and steady
In the greenhouse and the fields, next season s crop is coming ready
Walking through the door with hoe, I can feel that it s begun
And in everyone of us it still goes on
[Chorus]
It still goes on, it will go on
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
[Chorus]
It still goes on, it will go on
In the sharing of a smile, in the caring for a child
Asleep in your arms and dreaming, it still goes on
