[Verse 1]
You stayed outside my heart
When all the time you knew you could come in
Why make life so hard?
For reality, running after long lost dreams

[Chorus]
Because life with you would be so precious
Life with you would be so grand
Baby, loving you would be like heaven
But we're down on earth, you know
And with or without you, baby
Life goes on

[Verse 2]
It didn't take much time
For me to realize
You were the one for me (only one for me)
You made me feel so fine
That it didn't take very much for me to see

[Chorus]
Girl, that life would you
Would be so precious
Life with you would be so grand
Baby, loving you would be like heaven
But we're down on earth, you know
And with or without you, baby
Life goes on

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Baby, don't you know
Baby, life with you would be so precious
Life with you would be so grand
Baby, loving you would be like heaven
But we're down on earth, you know
But we're down on earth, you know
Baby, life with you would be so precious
Baby, life with you would be so grand
Baby, loving you would be like heaven (surely heaven)
But we're down on earth, you know (you know)
And with or without you, baby
Life goes on

[Outro]
Life goes on
Each and every day, life goes on
Life goes on, even in the bad times
So world keeps turning
So love keeps burning
Oh, life goes, life goes on, on and on
Each and every day, life, life goes on
Life goes on
