7", 45rpm "Life Must Go On" (1991),
LANE STEINBERG COLLECTION 1984-2000
she paces her kitchen
a ritual that has lost all meaning
she washes the dishes
stopping to soothe her crying baby
she says her daddy's coming home soon from the war
and we'll wait here together until that day we must be strong
she sits up most evenings
filling up pages in her diary
her life was so easy
now a chuckle takes too much trying
she never hears this word by mail or telephone
she can't imagine going through another year alone
but life must go on
life goes on
life it just goes on
life must go on
life goes on
life it just goes on and on
the father of her husband
was a general in the service
he left such big footsteps
looking at them would make you nervous
and he expected that his son would lead a life
that carried on a legacy
she never felt was fair or right
but life must go on
life goes on
life it just goes on
life must go on
life goes on
life it just goes on and on
and every night before she goes to bed
she holds his picture in her hand
and wonders silently where
this man could really be and
will she be seeing him again?
the picture leaves her hand and falls right to the floor
she thought her tears were cried up
now she sees there's always more
but life must go on
life goes on
life it just goes on
life must go on
life goes on
life it just goes on and on
