Love Goes On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seein' colours all around me, I don't recognise the palette
Suddenly, I feel a change in me
Like a thunder in the deep I light up, I just had to grab it
Suddenly, I see the world differently
Every time you put your arms around me, it feels like forever
The way you move is like a mystery
Excuse the madness, I've just had to try and put it into words
The way you make me feel, sugar sweet

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a sun that never sets
Like the heartbeat in my chest
It's like a permanent unrest
You fill the emptiness and it goes on

[Chorus]
But love goes on and on
And on and on and on (On and on and on)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (On and on and on)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (On and on and on)
My love goes on (My love goes on)
My love goes on (My love goes on)
My love goes on
[Verse 2]
Every moment I spend with you go to million miles an hour
I'm flying through outer space
I know good things keep on comin' to an end, but this is real
The way you make me feel
The stars get brighter, when we walk into the night, we say goodbye
But it's the only thing I keep for life
Excuse the madness, I've just had to try and put it into words
'Cause you're my universe

[Pre-Chorus]
When the music stops (It goes on and on and on)
Higher than mountaintops (It goes on and on and on and on)
When they stop the clocks (It goes on and on and on and on)
You know this time is us (It goes on and on and on and on)

[Chorus]
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (On and on and on)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (My love goes on and on and on)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (Oh)
My love goes on (My love goes on)
My love goes on (My love goes on)
My love goes on
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh
It goes on and on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
When the music stops (It goes on and on and on)
Higher than mountaintops (It goes on and on and on and on)
When they stop the clocks (It goes on and on and on)
You know this time is us (It goes on and on and on)

[Chorus]
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (Ooh)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (My love goes on)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (Ooh)
My love goes on (My love goes on)
My love goes on (My love goes on)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (On and on and on)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (On and on and on)
My love goes on and on
And on and on and on (On and on and on)
My love goes on (My love goes on)
My love goes on (My love goes on)
My love goes on

What did Ellie Goulding say about "Love Goes On"?
Genius Answer

This is the first Greg Kurstin song on the album. He has a pop sensibility for sure—he really appreciates and respects pop music—but then he has such a taste for electronic sound where everything is such quality. And this is from someone who’s an electronic music fiend. I’m no Björk, but I happen to think my electronic music playlist is quite elite.
