Cecil (Life Goes On)

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
