Cecil (life Goes On) Lyrics - Singles - Chapman Gary

by Gary Chapman 

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 

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 

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
