  • When you lose the one you love
    You think your world has ended
    You think your world will be a waste of life
    Without them in it

    You feel there's no way to go on
    Life is just a sad, sad song
    But love is bigger than us all
    The end is not the end at all

    It's not somethin' you get over
    But it's somethin' you get through
    It's not ours to be taken
    It's just a thing we get to do
    Life goes on and on
    And when it's gone
    It lives in someone new
    It's not somethin' you get over
    But it's somethin' you get through

    It's not somethin' you get over
    But it's somethin' you get through
    It's not ours to be taken
    It's a thing we get to do

    Life goes on and on
    And when it's gone
    It lives in someone new
    It's not somethin' you get over
    But it's somethin' you get through
    It's not somethin' you get over
    But it's somethin' you get through Writer/s: BUDDY CANNON, WILLIE NELSON

  • Mike from Saint Johns, FloridaI lost my wife a year ago today and this song brings me comfort. It gives me hope that maybe her love will live on in someone else if I am fortunate enough to have another shot at love. Thanks, Willie and friend.
  • Linda from FloridaI lost my beloved Husband in 2013 and his song helped me through my grief, Even though it has been 12 years since he passed, his song keeps me grounded. Thank you Willie, I have been a fan of his for 70 years.

  • Sherrine from AnonThis is a wonderful message to someone who has lost a love one no matter the reason.
