You know it’s been so many years
Since the day that we first met
We think of all the good memories
And forget all our regrets.
So we may be a little bit past our prime
We still got a lot in store,
We’ll just keep on gettin' on
Until we can't go on anymore.
You’ve seen me at the best of times
You’ve seen me at my worst,
And the times I was so tired and lost
You came and you quenched my thirst.
So let ‘em play us another song
We’re still dancing 'cross this floor,
We’ll just keep on gettin' on
Until we can't go on anymore.
You’ve been my closest confidant,
You’re my lover and my friend,
You know you mean the world to me
And you will until the end.
And though the hour is gettin’ late
And our bones are gettin’ sore,
We’ll just keep on gettin' on
Until we can't go on anymore.
And if they turn the house lights off
We’ll just waltz on through that door
We’ll just keep on gettin’ on
Until we can’t go on anymore
We’ll just keep on gettin' on
Until we can't go on anymore.
Just keep on gettin' on
Until we can't go on anymore.
