My father was a man who I knew to be self-assured
Never told a lie but he never kept his word
A man he said could never trust what he heard
But I heard him say

La, La, La, La, Nothing's wrong
La, La, La, La, Carry on
Once feelings change everything seems wrong
But you learn to beat the pain
Because you've got to carry on

Daddy always told me I could do it if I tried
Smiled at me one day and he asked me not to cry
I tried to keep him but he still said goodbye
Heard him say

La, La, La, La, Nothing's wrong
La, La, La, La, Carry on
Once feelings change everything seems wrong
But you learn to beat the pain
Because you've got to carry on, carry on.

Tall young blond and she knew just how to hold me
Girl once told me that I'd never be lonely
She changed her mind, I wish she would've told me
She said

La, La, La, La, Nothing's wrong
La, La, La, La, Carry on
Once feelings change everything seems wrong
But you learn to beat the pain
Because you've got to carry on

Of my language she never spoke a word
Finally taught her to just repeat what she heard
So when she left me as free as a bird
I heard her say

La, La, La, La, Nothing's wrong
La, La, La, La, Carry on
Once feelings change everything seems wrong
But you learn to beat the pain
Because you've got to carry on
