On and On

Being a lover goes on and on
You hold each other when things go wrong
You celebrate when you get it right
Dream you dreams together in bed each night
Raise a family, you build a home
You know that when you’re hurtin’, you’re not alone

On and on and on and on,
love goes on and on and on

Being a father goes on and on
You hope your kids can see right from wrong
You watch them stumble, you watch them fly
Your heart’s in your mouth and you wonder why
You try to be there when they’re in pain
And help them back to the rhythm of life again

On and on and on and on,
love goes on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Love goes on and on and on

Being a farmer goes on and on
One crop in and the other still growin’
Work with the earth in the rain and sun
Gather her fruits to feed your young
Pray to the Goddess when the farm gets dry
You know your love of Hawaii will never die

Then your hair turns silver, you start getting’ old
Just think of the stories that you have told
Grandchildren clustered around your knee if you’re lucky
And the stories they go on and on
Through the night till the break of dawn
They’ll still be telling ‘em when you’re dead and gone
If you’re lucky

And your love of life, it goes on and on
Even when your youth and your strength is gone
Though your face in the mirror looks a little worn
