And So It Goes
John Denver · Other Songs - John Denver
but like any other house it's only temporary
Home is anywhere you choose to put your heart
if there's no love inside it'll soon fall apart.
Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
buildings will crumble, bridges will rust,
mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
And so it goes with everything but love,
so it go--es, everything but love, so it go--es.
You can drive around in a long limousine
if you don't know where you're going, you don't mean a thing
He would walk a mile just to hold an empty hand
he knows what it means to be a wealthy man.
Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
colusses will crumble, bridges will rust,
mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
And so it goes with everything but love,
so it go--es, everything but love, so it go--es.
Wordly treasures will all pass away
there's just one thing's put here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
kingdoms will crumble, bridges will rust,
mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
And so it goes with everything but love,
so it go--es, everything but love,
so it go--es, everything but love,
so it go--es, everything but love.
