The Time Traveller's Wife the Musical - On and On Lyrics

The song is written by Joss Stone and Dave Stewart. Sung by David Hunter and Joanna Woodward.

HENRY:
All I have
Is too little time on Earth
No one gets to see the future
And I get to see the future
I can say goodbye
I can watch my daughter play
And I tell myself I'm lucky
That I'm better off this way

Measure out these days
Till they slip away

(Chorus:)
You know and I know
That life doesn't end when we go
It goes on

I should write it down
I should savour all I can
I could be a better husband
I should be a better husband
I should make some plans
I should ease the way ahead
But I'm always looking backward
So I'm wasting time instead

CLARE:
I would stop right now
On an ordinary day
And forgеt about tomorrow
I don't need to see tomorrow
Just to see your smile
And make breakfast in a rush
Sharе a quiet cup of coffee
First, the chaos, then the hush

HENRY & CLARE:
Measure out these days
Till they slip away

CLARE: (Chorus)
You know and I know
That life doesn't end when we go

HENRY & CLARE:
It goes on
And time never stood still
And night always breaks way for dawn
On and on

HENRY:
Call me ungrateful,
I've more than my share
I've a wing full
Of love thanks to you

HENRY & CLARE:
No one could fault us
For asking for more
When there's so much
We've had to go through

HENRY: (Chorus)
You know and I know
That life doesn't end when we go

HENRY & CLARE:
It goes on

COMPANY:
It goes on and on
And on and on
And on and on
And on and on
And on and on
And on and on
And on

HENRY:
All I need
Is this little time on Earth
