It's not easy when your life has broken down
To find solace in a world of pain.
It's not easy to pick up your broken heart
And start all over again.
It's not easy to be strong and carry on
When the light in your life has died.
It's not easy when the one and only one
Has left you in the dark to cry.
But life goes on and on, you know,
Just like a river flow.
If love may come and go, you know,
Your love may one day show.
It's not easy for to sleep alone at night,
You keep searching for the shape you knew.
It's not easy to wake up and realise
The big bad dream is true.
It's not easy to believe a day will come
When another one will cherish you.
It's not easy to be a cool and act unhurt
When the pain hits you through and through.
But life goes on and on, you know,
Just like a river flow.
If love may come and go, you know,
Your love may one day show.
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
But life goes on and on, you know,
Just like a river flow.
If love may come and go, you know,
Your love may one day show.
Your love may one day show, oh, oh,
Your love may one day show.
Your love may one day show...
