Lyrics

Christmas tree on New Year’s Day
Kicked to the curb to be thrown away
Here I sit at a table for one
Should have known this day would come

Life goes on
When she’s gone
My girl’s gone
Life goes on

Couples slow dance cheek to cheek
I can almost hear them speak
Whispering words of sweet romance
All I want is one more chance

Life goes on
When she’s gone
My girl’s gone
Life goes on

Once I believed she would come to see
She should still be here with me
How am I the last to know ?
Time for me to let her go

(Instrumental)

Tried to find for Valentine’s
Something that might change her mind
Roses, chocolates, diamonds too
Nothing I could buy would do

Life goes on
When she’s gone
My girl’s gone
Life goes on

Life goes on
When she’s gone
My girl’s gone
Life goes on

My girl’s gone
Life goes on
