On And On It Goes Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

River starts with a drop of rain 

Somewhere in this world 

Light years shape this arc of sky 

And sand a precious pearl 

And yuou will light a stranger's life 

By letting yours unfurl 

And on and on it goes 

Sparks upon the wind 

Like a July 4th, a crown of stars 

And a good time grin 

On and on it flies, on a new bird's wing 

In a beating heart, the moon that rose 

And the gif of spring 

You can say that you'll never matter 

Lose or win 

The world won't care and it's hard to bear 

Such a lonely wind 

But you can change a stranger's life 

By letting yours begin 

And on and on it goes 

Chance is everywhere 

Like the train you took 

The rain that fell on the summer air 

On and on it flies, like the time we've lost 

It's either running out 

Or covering all our dreams in trust 

Every night the TV shows 

One more bad day's news 

A world away from what I know 

And what I do 

But I could save a stranger's life 

If I had a clue 

And on and on it goes 

Attention must be paid 

Before it seems we're one soul short 

And a second late 

On and on it flies across the stratosphere 

At the speed of love, if you stop 

And feel it you will hear 

On and on it goes 

Sparks upon the wind 

Like a July 4th, a crown of stars 

And a good time grin 

And on and on it flies, on a new bird's wing 

In a beating heart, the moon that rose 

And the gift of spring
