  • Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

    Tell me why you hold yourself like that, you look so sad
    But don't tell me that you're giving up when I got your back
    Still hiding from those people, you can't forgive for what they did
    You can hold it on your own but that's no way to live

    Don't be scared 'cause there's no doubt
    I'll lift you up when you're feeling down
    I'll mend your heart, I'll heal your wounds
    I'll do what no one else could do
    I've told you once, I've told you twice
    I'll tell you this a thousand times
    Like the burning of the sun
    Just like the river runs

    My love goes on
    But when everything has changed
    I'll be the one thing that remains
    My love goes on
    But when your whole world has shattered
    I'll be the only one who matters
    My love goes on

    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
    My love, my love goes on, goes on
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

    It's easy to buy into what you've been sold, but there's no soul
    And I swear that hell would freeze over in this world so cold
    So lift up your hands and rest your weary feet (mmm) 'cause you're here with me
    And I'll hold in my open arms and set you free (set you free)

    Don't be scared 'cause there's no doubt
    I'll lift you up when you're feeling down
    I'll mend your heart, I'll heal your wounds
    I'll do what no one else could do
    I've told you once, I've told you twice
    I'll tell you this a thousand times
    Like the burning of the sun
    Just like the river runs

    My love goes on
    But when everything has changed
    I'll be the one thing that remains
    My love goes on
    But when you're whole world has shattered
    I'll be the only one who matters
    My love goes on

    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (my love goes on)
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (oh, my love goes on)
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (on and on)
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (on and on)

    Just like the beating of a drum
    That's the way my love goes on
    Just like the birds will sing their song
    That's the way my love goes on
    On and on, on
    On and on
    Like the burning of the sun (mmm)
    Just like the river runs

    My love goes on
    But when everything has changed (everything has changed)
    I'll be the one thing that remains
    My love goes on (Love goes on)
    But when your whole world has shattered (Has shattered)
    I'll be the only one who matters
    My love goes on

    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (on, on)
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh ('cause my love, my love goes on)
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (yeah, my love goes on)
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (on and on and on, my love goes on)
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh yeah Writer/s: James Morrison, Joss Stone
