So It Goes

Perry Como

Compositor: Michael Heath Johnson / John Barry Mason, Alec Gould

You're feelin' bad, you need a friend
It seems that night won't end
Doubts an' fears fill the air
Midnight shadows everywhere

Don't be afraid, the dawn is near
To help you face your fear
You're not alone, we're really all the same
Caught in the game of life we're playin'

So it goes
If there's an answer then nobody knows
Love's always dancin' just ahead
So hope is never dead somehow it grows

So it goes
The sea of mystery it ebbs an' flows
A priceless gift of old
Oh, the magic of a simple rose

That's life an' so it goes

When lonely times weigh on your mind
And hopes are hard to find
Then use the good you've had before
To help you face the world once more

There's more in you than you can see
If only you believe
Dream your dreams an' if they don't come true
You'll still get along, that's life, just live it

So it goes
If there's an answer then nobody knows
Love's always dancin' just ahead
So hope is never dead somehow it grows

So it goes
The sea of mystery it ebbs an' flows
A priceless gift of old
Oh, the magic of a simple rose

That's life an' so it goes
