This day is gettin older, and fading light is beautiful,   This wind is blowing colder, and too soon I feel its pull.   Still I took all my chances earned myself an even score try to learn   my lessons well.   And I don't have the answers, for those questions anymore, only   love can be both heaven and hell.      So sturdy up sturdy up ur heart, for the road is long ahead.   I'll be with you even though we're apart,   but your road is yours to tread.   And so it goes and so it goes and so it goes    slows your mind mind mind.   So it goes and so it goes and so it goes slows your mind mind mind mind mind      I've grown old on this ocean gave her all my stronger years,   gave my wife my devotion when she died the ocean my tears.   I've tried to teach you well son all of everything I knew of how to live   this life be true. Don't bow your head to no one and no matter what you do   if you start then see it through.      So sturdy up sturdy up ur heart, for the road is long ahead.   I'll be with you even though we're apart,   but your road is yours to tread.   And so it goes and so it goes and so it goes    slows your mind mind mind.   So it goes and so it goes and so it goes slows your mind mind mind mind mind
