LyricMeaning

And So It Goes
John Denver

A mansion on a hill is a lovely sight to see

But like any other house it's only temporary

Home is anywhere you choose to put your heart

If there's no love inside, it will soon fall apart


Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

Buildings will crumble, bridges will rust

Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up

And so it goes with everything but love


You can drive around in a long limousine

If you don't know where you're going, it don't mean a thing

He who'd walk a mile just to hold an empty hand

Knows what it means to be a wealthy man


Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

Palaces will crumble, bridges will rust

Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up

And so it goes with everything but love


Worldly treasures will all pass away

There's just one thing that was put here to stay


Ashes to ashes, dust into dust

Kingdoms will crumble, bridges will rust

Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up

And so it goes with everything but love
