Don Williams - And So It Goes Lyrics






I thought we'd always be together
In my mind, there was no doubt
Our two hearts were bound forever
We would never be without

Spring to summer, falls to winter
those that can just fly away
to find a place for them that's better
I guess here is where I'll stay

And so it goes
while we were busy with the details of our lives
everyday thinking' time was on our side
I turned around and you were gone
and I left here with the words I never got around to saying
I don't know why, I guess I never thought our time could pass us by

Life for you took new direction
What I may never figure out
that nature goes about her business
With new surprises every day

And so it goes
while we were busy with the details of our lives
everyday thinking' time was on our side
I turned around and you were gone
and I'm left here with the words I never got around to saying
I don't know why, I guess I never thought our time could pass us by

I turned around and you were gone
And I'm left here with the words
I never got around to saying
I don't know why,I guess I never thought
Our Time would pass us by

Don Williams And So It Goes Comments
  1. V.... C....

    Sadly time is never on our side. Cherish every moment.

  2. J.... A....

    Don’s wife, Joy was in Hawaii at their vacation home and was involved in a really bad car accident. Don’t know if Don was there or not. She had some really bad head injuries. From friends of theirs she apparently didn’t know don or anyone after that. . He and his son Tim wrote this song together. Most believe it was about Joy. Not about her dying but going in her mind to another place. She passed away almost 2 years after Don in some type Of assisted living facility I think in Nashville is what one article said. Don was living in Semmes , Alabama during his last few years. If I am correct wasn’t this album he dedicated to Joy?

  42. J.... F....

    never got as much credit as he deserved

  43. j.... m....

    Today's "bro country" singers could take a few lessons from this man! They insult him every time they open their mouths because no one can touch the simplicity and sincerity of Don Williams!

    j.... m....

    justess martin Couldn't agree more!

    j.... m....

    rob i didnt do it

  44. E.... M....

    Amazing .

  45. b.... s....

    I learned Don's music from my late father,I love it so much that my husband once said to me,''I am happy that Don Williams is not here in our town otherwise I don't know what would have happened'. My children are also hooked up in this music.

  46. S.... G....

    Really Hits The Spot. Mr Don Williams..Never Old

  47. K.... A....

    I wish we could hear this even when life's gone.😍

  48. J.... M....

    Beautiful song

    J.... M....

    yes colin i love you fix it i have the universal key switch

  49. T.... ....

    I never thought that this song would have such an impact on my memories..just recently my first wife had passed away,we had been married for seven years when we finally divorced and went our separate ways. The first year of our marriage my wife gave me one of the greatest gifts I could've ever had,she gave me a son, but as the years went by we grew apart. I remarried and have been married to my present wife for 40 years now and it's been a wonderful marriage, sure we've had our ups and downs but that's what marriage is about, growing and learning together, over those past many years there were some things that I had wanted to say to my ex-wife, saying that I was sorry for the way things turned out between us and that maybe if we had both worked a little harder, who knows things could've been different. With her passing that is no longer possible but I will forever hold those fond memories of the good times we had within myself, I have no regrets for the way I have lived my life up till now but those memories will forever be in my mind and a part of me. Thank you Don Williams for this song and the fond memories it brings back.

    For those of you who have something left unsaid to a loved one or someone from your past, don't leave it unsaid because you never know when the time may come it will be too late to tell them.
