Song Lives On

Grandma she sat by the light of the moon

I'd watch her write preserving the tune

She'd say come on child please sing along

Our song will live on and on

Your father he's gone but he left you a voice

You're the singer of songs now you make the choice

For four generations we passed them along

The song will live on and on

She said sing your song

Pass them on, pass them on

And the melody will be everlasting

Like notes to a song

My life is over and gone

But the song will live on and on

Mother would sing through the smoke in the bars

With four mouths to feed she would strum her guitar

She'd say won't you please sing along with my song

Those songs will live on and on

Some nigths I would hide there alone in the dark

Rehearsing the songs and the words that she spoke

Dressed up in the costumes one day I'd have on

Her song will live on and on

And we'd say sing your song, Donna Lee, jsut for me

Yes your melody is everlasting

Like notes to a song one day we all will be gone

But the song will live on and on

And I will sing my song

Pass it on to everyone

It's melody will be everlasting

Like notes to a song

My life is over and gone

But the song will live on and on

My song lives on

Song lives on and on

Song lives on and on

Sing along, you're the singer of songs

One day in New York I will never forget

I wept before people I never had met

I said nothing's wrong, it's just the radio's on

They're playing my song, that's my song

And I said sing your song

Pass it on to everyone

The melody will be everlasting

Like notes to a song

My life is over and gone

But the song will live on and on

And I will sing my song

Pass them on, pass them on

The melody will be everlasting

Like notes to a song

I will be forever gone

But the song will live on and on

Like notes to a song, one day we all will be gone

But the song will live on and on
