Life Will Go On Lyrics

Verse 1
Broken skies, heartaches that flowers won't mend
Say good-bye, knowing that this is the end
Tender dreams, shadows fall
Love too sweet to recall
Dry your eyes, face the dawn
Life will go on
Life will go on

Verse 2
All day long thought that we still had a chance
Letting go this is the end of romance
Broken heart, find your way
Make it through, just this day
Face the world, on your own
Life will go on
Life will go on

Hook
There'll be blue skies
There'll be true love
Someday I'll hold you again
There'll be blue skies
In a better world, darling

Verse 3
Tender dreams, shadows fall
Love too sweet, to recall
Dry your eyes
Face the dawn
Life will go on
Life will go on

Verse 4
Broken heart, find your way
Make it through, just this day
Face the world, on your own
Life will go on
Life will go on

Life will go on
Life will go on

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I first heard this song on the movie Chasing Liberty. I fekk in love with this song because it was so smooth and the words were so encouraging. I mean, many of us, (notice the word US and not YOU ALL) can relate. The parts "Broken skies, heartaches that flowers won't mend " and "Love too sweet to recall " is saying, yes this was a great love, but we have reached a point where gifts can't heal the wounds of our heart. It's a parting song that delivers the message that yes, we are hurting now but it's okay because life will go on. You hear that Pasha Mure (yes, it's a guy), it was a great love but chocolates and flowers can't take back the pain and I have finally come to terms with that fact. Why? Because LIFE WILL GO ON!!! Whew, I feel better.

This song is absolutely beautiful. Even though one might feel completely broken or torn up about someone, the only thing there is to do is to carry on, regardless of how much weight is on their shoulders. Eventually, the pain which was once so vivid will just fade away and become a blur to whoever felt it. Then, somehow we feel like we can face it again.

"Dry your eyes, face the dawn -- life will go on, life will go on." Ah, so beautiful.
