I once believed I couldn't go on If you ever said goodbye Now You're gone my heart still beats Lord knows how or why Now you're leaving didn't k** me all that it did Was tear my life apart No I guess it's not the end of the world But it's a damn good start CHORUS: The moon's gonna rise the tide's gonna fall Just like it did yesterday But I know that time is not gonna stop Just because you went away Your goodbye has taught me a man's gonna live And to hell with his broken heart I know it's not the end of the world But it's a damn good start I've still got my job, I've still got my health And an occasional smile I've still got my friends, they still come around Every once in a while I promise myself I'll get over you But I never get too far I know it's not the end of the world But it's a damn good start REPEAT CHORUS I know it's not the end of the world But it's a damn good start
