Lyrics

How Long Can I Go On?

Music & Lyrics by Richard Fisher


Can?t believe that you?d leave me ?

Can?t conceive that you?re gone

With my arms so empty

How long can I go on?
______________

Thought you?d stay close beside me

Thought our love was so strong

Was I blind ? was I crazy?

How long can I go on?
______________


You never said that your heart was heavy

(Call me a fool!)

But now my dreams ? that were so rock-steady ? have

Broken in two ? smashed through and through!
______________


That?s the end of my story

That?s the end of my song

Now the curtain?s fallen ? can?t you hear me callin?

How long can I go on, without you

How long can I go on?
___________
