Life Goes On

Only 48

Can't believe that he's gone

I don't know how I can carry on

We were married for so long

Why did Freddie die first?

It's so wrong

I feel very weak

And now is the time to be so strong

For life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

There is so much to do

There are plans that I ought to be making

Life goes on

There's his stamps to be sold

And those Patti Page records for breaking

There are matches to chuck

And menus to tear

Before he was struck

There was junk everywhere

So much to do, I think I'll make a list

Got to cram in all the things that I've missed

There are trips to be made

And young men I must meet

Clothes to be bought for new places to eat

I must get some sun, I'm as white as a sheet

Life goes on

One day, right as rain

Who would ever have thought?

I did not like the look of that wart

It was as I suspected

Warts and lumps should not be neglected

I've no time to cry

There are policies to be collected

And life goes on

Life goes on

Life goes on

So one can't sit around

And my weeping will not bring back Freddie

Life goes on

He died at 2:30

I've wasted three hours already

No more hairs in the sink

No more ash in the cup

Yes, now I can drink

Or lie in or stay up

I won't have to meet his mom anymore

Strange how one wart can make one's spirits soar

Think I'll buy me a Porsche and a four-poster bed

Do all the things I did not do with Fred

'Cause some of him died

Now all of him's dead

Life goes on
