Grandma she sat by the light of the moon
I'd watch her write preserving the tune
She'd say come on child please sing along
Our song will live on and on
Your father he's gone but he left you a voice
You're the singer of songs now you make the choice
For four generations we passed them along
The song will live on and onShe said sing your song
Pass them on, pass them on
And the melody will be everlasting
Like notes to a song
My life is over and gone
But the song will live on and on
Mother would sing through the smoke in the bars
With four mouths to feed she would strum her guitar
She'd say won't you please sing along with my song
Those songs will live on and onSome nigths I would hide there alone in the dark
Rehearsing the songs and the words that she spoke
Dressed up in the costumes one day I'd have on
Her song will live on and onAnd we'd say sing your song, Donna Lee, jsut for me
Yes your melody is everlasting
Like notes to a song one day we all will be gone
But the song will live on and onAnd I will sing my song
Pass it on to everyoneIt's melody will be everlasting
Like notes to a song
My life is over and gone
But the song will live on and on
My song lives on
Song lives on and on
Song lives on and onSing along, you're the singer of songsOne day in New York I will never forget
I wept before people I never had metI said nothing's wrong, it's just the radio's on
They're playing my song, that's my songAnd I said sing your songPass it on to everyone
The melody will be everlasting
Like notes to a song
My life is over and gone
But the song will live on and onAnd I will sing my song
Pass them on, pass them on
The melody will be everlasting
Like notes to a song
I will be forever gone
But the song will live on and on
Like notes to a song, one day we all will be gone
But the song will live on and on
