Lyrics
I was seventeen, she was two years younger.
Never would have met if it weren't for the summer.
She came home to see her daddy.
I was headed to Miami.
We walked through the woods, and frolicked in the fields.
There we did away with our swords and our shields.
And for just a brief while,...
I let someone see me smile.
Life goes on as I've heard it should, though they never really gave me an answer.
And I moved on as best I could, though I know I'm never gonna forget her, life goes on.
She was thirty-three, I was eight years younger.
Never thought I'd go for the preacher's daughter.
She came from a lovely family,...
I was all alone in Miami.
We tried on the rings, went shopping for houses.
Ready to begin the starter kit for spouses.
Then it all came crashing down,...
When the smoke cleared, not a soul was around.
But life goes on as I've heard it should, though they never really gave me an answer.
And I moved on as best I could, though I know I'm never gonna forget her, life goes on...
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on, though I know I'm never gonna forget her.
Life goes on as I've heard it should, though they never really gave me an answer.
And I moved on as best I could, though I know I'm never gonna forget her, life goes on...
I said, life goes on as I've heard it should, though they still refuse to give me an answer.
And I moved on as best I could, though I know I'm never gonna forget her, life goes on...
Life goes on.
Life goes on.
